Filled with chicken, mushrooms, water chestnuts and carrots, these wraps are both healthy and yummy. The gingerroot, rice wine vinegar and teriyaki sauce give them delicious Asian flair.—Kendra Doss of Smithville, Missouri

I doubled the recipe, except the lettuce. You will have enough lettuce, and the leftovers tasted better the next day!

The amount of carrot called for somewhat overwhelms the rest of the salad. Used sesame oil in the dressing rather than peanut oil, and still found it bland. Had a little leftover the next day, and it was even blander then.
