California Wrap

This is the first time I've added a meal to this site since Simran was born 10 weeks ago.  I've been cooking and eating as fast as I can lately, but since she is sleeping in Sameer's arms at the moment, I'm updating tonight.

The California Wrap is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.  I stole it from The Other Side Cafe in Boston, which closed earlier this year.  I wanted to make sure to write the recipe down so I don't forget what goes on it and end up unable to recreate it when their menu ceases to be available online.

Ingredients
Sandwich wrap (tortilla works)
Cucumber, sliced up julienne-style
Carrots, julienne
Red onion, sliced
Havarti with dill cheese, sliced
Alfalfa sprouts
Lettuce, chopped
Avocado, sliced
Cucumber dill dressing

Directions
Lay out the wrap.  Place a thin layer of cheese in a line down one side.  Pile on top of it thin layers of avocado, cucumber, carrots, red onion, a couple of tablespoons of dressing, and then lettuce and sprouts.  Roll up tightly, slice at an angle down the middle, and serve immediately.
