Fresh ingredients and easy preparation make herb-marinated fresh mozzarella wraps perfect for a leisurely picnic on a warm, sunny day. So grab a blanket, find that old picnic basket and embrace the outdoorsy you! This recipe is sure to become an instant summertime favorite. Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) diced fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons Kalamata olives, chopped and pitted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced pepper ham
- 16 asparagus spears (about 1/4 pound), steamed and chilled
- 4 (8-inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
- Combine the first six ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Cover and chill for two hours.
- Arrange an ounce of ham and four asparagus spears on each tortilla. Spoon about 1/3 cup cheese mixture over the asparagus and roll up.
- These wraps can be assembled up to four hours in advance, but keep in mind that tortillas absorb moisture the longer they wait.
- Most supermarket deli sections sell pepper ham, but you can substitute regular ham if you’re unable to find it. If you use regular ham, add ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to the cheese as it marinates.
