Shrimp Caesar Salad Wraps with Yogurt Dressing

Kids adore anything in wraps; in this case, the lettuce is the shell. Avocado slices, shrimp and yogurt with active cultures are good ingredients that make this Caesar salad into something heart-smart. If you are short on time, buy pre-cooked shrimp and toss with a squeeze of lime and Worcestershire sauce before serving for extra flavour.

“It’s all in the packaging. If I was serving adults I would build the shrimp and add-ins on top of the whole lettuce leaves. For the kids I just simply let them get busy building their own.”
