Wraps are the perfect portable snack. Lighter than sandwiches they can be filled with any combination of ingredients you have to hand so it's always worth keeping a pack on standby in the freezer. They can be thawed in just a few seconds in the microwave or leave at room temperature for 1 hr until soft. With a lightly-dressed crisp Greek-style salad and salty flavoured halloumi and feta cheeses these wraps are ideal for a packed lunch or picnic. Make 2-3 hrs in advance and wrap in foil or cling film and chill until required.
