Ingredients
  

For eight wraps

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce Choose eight intact leaves; rinse and dry
  • 8 slices ready-to-eat pepperoni
  • 8 slices ready-to-eat salami
  • 8 slices smoked Gouda cheese

Instructions
 

  • Separate eight intact iceberg leaves, rinse under running water, and dry thoroughly. Carefully shave down a stiff rib if needed without cutting through the leaf.
  • Arrange one slice each of ready-to-eat pepperoni, ready-to-eat salami, and smoked Gouda on every leaf. Cut oversized slices to fit.
  • Bring the side edges inward and fold the bottom over the filling, rolling gently. Set each wrap on its seam; use parchment if packing lunch.
  • Serve two wraps per person immediately, or cover and refrigerate promptly. Keep dressing, if desired, separate until eating.

Notes

Eight small wraps, four light portions. Only ready-to-eat meats are suitable. Keep at 40°F or colder; assembled wraps are best within one day or the earlier package limit. Do not freeze. Optional dressing and sides are separate.
