I made a few changes to this recipe. First, I used broccoli slaw instead of cabbage (my Walmart carried this right next to the cabbage). I also diced a little bit or red onion and red pepper and added that to the mix. I topped each wrap off with a handful of cashews. Finally, I added 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce to help give the dressing a little more flavor.

I used a whole bag of coleslaw mix in lieu of the shredded carrot and cabbage, and there was PLENTY of dressing for that! It really stretched the recipe, brought down the calorie count a bit, and we didn't feel like there wasn't enough chicken. Loved the dressing on this... delicious and very easy to make.

This recipe was good, but I thought that the cilantro taste was overwhelming. Generally, I don't associate cilantro with Asian foods. I will probably try the chicken wrap idea again, but I plan on using Asian dressing in place of the dressing in this recipe.

It was very tasty but kind of watery for a wrap. Next time I will omit the water.
