  • ½ cup chopped cucumber

  • ½ cup chopped yellow summer squash or zucchini

  • ¼ cup shredded carrot

  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

  • ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 6 leaves leaf lettuce

  • 6 (6 to 7 inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Combine eggs, cucumber, summer squash (or zucchini), carrot, and red onion in a large bowl. For dressing, stir together mayonnaise dressing, mustard, milk, tarragon (or basil), salt, and paprika in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over egg mixture; toss gently to coat.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
