- Prepare the Vegetables:

- Spread a small amount of sauce down the center of the wrap.
- Layer the avocado slices, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, purple cabbage, spinach, cilantro, and mint on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle with shredded coconut if using.
- Drizzle a little more sauce on top of the veggies if desired.
- Roll the Wraps:
- Carefully roll the coconut wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
- Slice the wrap in half if desired for easier handling.
- Serve:
- Serve the veggie coconut wraps immediately with extra dipping sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to add or substitute any veggies or greens you like. Other great additions include bean sprouts, sliced radishes, or lettuce.
- Protein Boost: Add some protein such as tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for a more filling wrap.
- Storage: If making ahead, keep the assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
Enjoy your fresh and flavorful veggie coconut wraps!
