Notes

Add a schmear of hummus before the chickpea mixture for extra protein power. You'll boost the protein content while keeping everything deliciously moist. Roll everything up tightly, slice it into kid-friendly pinwheels, and secure it with colorful toothpicks. These roll-ups stay fresh in the fridge for up to two days!
Similar to Mason jar salads, these roll-ups can be prepared in advance and maintain their freshness throughout the week when stored properly.
