"The name says it all! These are so nice to pop into the cooler & tote along to the ball game, going fishing, or just for a day in the park! Also good for those potluck dinners at church--a nice change from the usual casserole fare!"

Loved these wraps. Changes I made were to use half sharp paprika in place of curry and I did not toast the pecans. One can also use quartered green grapes and a bit of chopped celery in place of apples. Will definitely make again.

Good recipe. I added halved grapes and plain toasted pecans. No curry, carrots or onion. Similar to the new sandwich at Arby's.

Loved this one. My only comment was that for me their was entirely too much dressing for the salad and I ended up using about half of what I made. The flavors of all the components were great and married well in the final dish. My other comment was this only made 4 servings here. Thanks and good luck.

This was very good. I made them on whole wheat flour tortillas, using 1 romaine leaf per wrap, and ran out of golden raisins so used dark. I was worried about all the dressing but it was perfect. Sweet almost to sweet (I liked the sweetness from the raisin, apples, carrots and red onion was very good being all natural sources of sugar), crunchy, tart. The pecans could be just toasted no sugar. 1 breast came out to 2 cups of shredded chicken. I finished one and could have eaten an other! But I didn`t.
