Have you ever heard of an unwich before? Blake eats one for lunch almost every day and they are a LIFE SAVER. For me the hardest thing about eating healthy is the constant food prep. Especially being pregnant and having strong food aversions this time around, I’m trying to go as easy on myself as possible. Sometimes that looks like an entire afternoon of food prep so I’m ready for the upcoming week. But sometimes that looks like an unwich which takes zero food prep, has unlimited flavor possibilities, and is sooo gooooood.

You can also customize your unwich with as many meats, veggies, and sauces as you like. If you don’t avoid dairy, throw some cheese on there. If you do, go for an avocado mayonnaise or a dairy-free pesto (or both!) instead. This specific unwich is a turkey bacon one, but don’t worry. I’ll be posting more of our favorite combos on here. You can either clean out your fridge and load it onto an unwich or you can purposefully put great thought into your ingredients. Either way you win. Because either way you end up eating an unwich.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of romaine lettuce
  • 1 small cucumber cut lengthwise into thin slices
  • 1/4 cup banana pepper rings
  • 2-3 tablespoons chili lime crema sauce (I use the brand Sir Kensington's)
  • 8 slices of turkey deli meat (I like the brand Metro Deli)
  • 1 strip of precooked bacon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Tear off a piece of unbleached parchment paper that is roughly a foot or so long.
  2. Start piling up your romaine lettuce closest to you at a diagonal from the corner (so that it's easy to tuck the corner under the unwich when you're ready to roll it up). Keep the leafy parts of the lettuce on the outside and face the core of the lettuce towards each other - one leaf on the left and another on the right slightly on top of each other. Do this 5 or 6 times until you can start layering in the other ingredients.
  3. Once the foundation of your unwich has been laid, add the crema sauce liberally.
  4. Then add the cucumber (at this point salt and pepper the unwich to taste), banana pepper rings, turkey, and finish with the strip of bacon on top.
  5. Grab the unwich firmly with your left hand and pull the corner over and under it with your right. Once you do this, you can continue rolling until you meet the other corner of the parchment paper.
  6. Now cut the unwich in half using a serrated knife and plate it with a side of grain-free chips and pickle.
  7. Again if you need help learning how to wrap an unwich, watch Danielle Walker's version linked above.
