Broccoli Salad Roulades

Broccoli Salad Roulades

The other day for lunch I made myself Broccoli Salad Roulades.  With spring here and summer just around the corner, these roulades sounded perfect for a healthy, slimming lunch. The roulades are loaded with healthy veggies and other goodies. You mix chopped broccoli florets, chopped red bell pepper, grated carrots, dried cherries ( I used dried cranberries) diced purple onion, and bacon together.  You then pour some White Balsamic dressing over the mixture and stir until well combined.  Get two flour tortillas and divide the mixture evenly.  Roll and wrap in plastic wrap for 30 minutes to 2 hours.  Remove from the fridge and slice using a serrated knife.  The roulades are  very colorful.  I loved the taste - healthy veggies with a bit of bacon and the tartness of cranberries held together by a tasty balsamic dressing.  I sliced up the second tortilla for my kids as a snack and they thought they were good:)  Three cheers!
