# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 40 minutes flat, which means you can go from idea to eating in the time it takes to watch half a show.
  • Greek yogurt keeps things creamy without the heaviness, so you feel satisfied but not weighed down.
  • Lettuce wraps are naturally gluten-free and low-carb, but they taste indulgent enough that you won't feel like you're missing anything.
  • The flavors dance together—tangy, sweet from the grapes, bright from the lemon, with just enough dill to make everything feel restaurant-quality.
02 -
  • If you make these more than a couple of hours ahead, the lettuce will start to soften and absorb moisture from the filling—assemble them right before eating, or keep the components separate until the last minute.
  • Don't skip drying your lettuce leaves after washing them; water pooling inside the wraps will make them soggy and sad within minutes.
  • The dressing will seem a bit thick when you first whisk it, but it loosens up when you toss it with the vegetables and the chicken releases a tiny bit of moisture.
03 -
  • Buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and you've shaved 20 minutes off your total time—nobody needs to know you didn't cook it yourself, and the result is just as delicious.
  • Keep your Greek yogurt at room temperature for about 15 minutes before mixing the dressing; it whisks smoother and feels less thick than cold yogurt straight from the fridge.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, set up a little assembly line with the lettuce leaves, chicken salad, and toppings in separate bowls—people love customizing their own wraps and it saves you from plating everything.
