Adding loads of vegetables adds crunch and flavor, as well as heart healthy fiber, vitamins and minerals. The dressing you use can make or break the healthfulness of your chicken wrap. Skip the mayo and heavy dressing and stick to something that adds taste and creaminess with heart healthy fat, such as mashed avocado. In case you need it, here are some tips on how to cut an avocado.

This heart healthy chicken recipe is made with many ingredients that are good for your health, including nutrition-packed avocado, iron-rich spinach and hydrating cucumber.
