Rainbow Roll-Up Sandwich Ingredients

• Hummus – Adds creamy flavor and helps hold everything together. It’s the “glue” that keeps the veggies in place.
• Red Bell Pepper – Adds a sweet, delicious crunch and a pop of red.
• Carrot – Sweet, crunchy, and a bright orange stripe in the rainbow.
• Yellow Bell Pepper – Mild and sweet, and brings the yellow to the rainbow.
• Spinach – Fresh and mild, and an easy way to get some green in.
• Purple Cabbage – Crunchy and colorful, and rounds out the rainbow with purple.
• Tortilla or Lavash Bread – You’ve got to have something to wrap all these delicious rainbow vegetables in! You can use either a tortilla or a piece of lavash bread to get perfect roll-up sandwiches.

How to Make Rainbow Roll-Up Sandwiches

• Prep the wrap. Spread hummus evenly on a tortilla or lavash bread.
• Add the vegetables. Place chopped vegetables in rainbow color order towards the middle of the wrap. Leave half of the wrap covered with just hummus so that everything will stick when you roll.
• Roll and slice. Roll the tortilla or lavash up tightly starting from the end with the vegetables. Slice into coins using a serrated knife.

Substitutions, Additions and Tips!

• Use your favorite hummus. Any hummus recipe will work for these roll-ups. Mix it up by using different flavors like Red Bell Pepper Hummus, Cheesy Green Hummus, or Black Bean Hummus to create something new each time!
• Any vegetables will do. Any vegetables that are the color of the rainbow will work. Use strips of tomatoes instead of red bell peppers, purple onion instead of cabbage or avocado instead of spinach. Everything is customizable!
• The hummus is your “glue”. When you’re building these wraps, layer the rainbow vegetables on one half and then leave the other half with just hummus so you have the “glue” to hold it all together! After you roll it up tightly, place it seam-side down before you cut it into coins.
• Let the kids get involved. These Rainbow Roll-Up Sandwiches are a great recipe to make with your kids and may get them excited to eat their veggies! It’s so much fun to have little ones line up the rainbow colored vegetables, wrap it all up and then see all the colors of the rainbow after you cut them into coins!
• Make the lunch a theme. If you’re including these wraps in a kids lunchbox, I recommend making the lunch a rainbow theme. Have these roll-ups, with rainbow colored fruit, maybe a few rainbow chocolate coated candies or anything that screams ROY G. BIV!
