I love wraps. They are a quick, easy way to throw together a tasty, healthy lunch or dinner. These wraps have a zucchini-basil base with a little coconut thrown in. Black sesame seeds add a little color and nutrients. For the filling, a quick dice of some veggies combined with spinach cream is perfect. These are quick, easy and bursting with flavor. The wraps will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks, properly wrapped.

- 3 cups chopped zucchini
- 1 young coconut, flesh from

- Spread in a thin layer on non-stick sheets. Don’t spread too thin or you will have holes.

- Cut into 5″ squares. Makes 12.

Susan ~ your site is wonder-full…such creative recipes ! We live in Canada where raw macadamia nuts and young coconuts are hard to find. Are there good sources that I might access or good substitutions in recipes I might use. Thank you for your time and any suggestions. Blessings and gratitude ♥ Carol
Hello Susan – this looks amazing! I live in Ireland, it’s impossible to get young coconuts – the ones we get (if any) are often stored a long long time and not very nice anymore. Is there any good substitute? Like canned coconut milk? I know that wouldn’t be raw but I’d be quite willing to cheat a little…
