It is not necessary to grill the bread though it does make them soft and easier to work with. Tie your Turkish wrap with a string or wrap it with foil to keep the filling inside and to not make a mess when eating the wrap.
Tips
Unsure how to pick the right avocados for the white bean salad? Observe the colour of the avocado. Ripe avocados have dark green or nearly black skin with a bumpy texture that yields under gentle pressure without leaving any indentations in the skin.

Mint dressing
Our delectable crème fraiche and mint dressing recipe with salad cheese, mint, and chives elevates your Turkish white bean salad. Thanks to the fraiche and cheese, the dressing has a tangy, punchy taste, only made better with fresh herbs. The mint adds a subtly sweet taste to the dressing with just a touch of bitterness and leaves a lingering cool sensation on your tongue with each bite. Our crème fraiche and mint dressing is exceptionally versatile, so you can easily use it as a dip for your snacks.
Roll in a soft flatbread
The white bean salad with tomatoes is rolled in a grilled flatbread, giving the bread a soft texture ideal for rolling your Turkish wrap. Though store-bought flatbread is perfectly fine to use, you can easily go with the do-it-yourself version with our flatbread recipe that you simply bake in a pan. Bring the wraps with you for lunch, on the go, or serve them for dinner with your friends. It is a simple and easy dish with rich flavours that you can prepare quickly and effortlessly.
Experiment with your Turkish wrap filling
The white bean salad pairs nicely with many Mediterranean flavours. Bright flavours like lemon, cumin, garlic and especially parsley are used generously in many Turkish salad recipes. They give the salad a fresh taste with a pungent, almost spicy aroma from the garlic. You can also swap out the avocados with red onions, as they add so much flavour and a slight crunch to the salad. Slice them thinly and toss them with the other ingredients. If you want the dressing for the white bean salad to have an acidic lemony taste, try adding sumac. The deep red spice tastes somewhat like fresh lemon juice but has a tart and sharp aroma with a hint of sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the mint.
