04 - Pour the prepared dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly, ensuring uniform flavor distribution.
05 - Lay out the washed and thoroughly dried lettuce leaves on a clean work surface, arranging them in a single layer.
06 - Spoon the salad mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, distributing the filling evenly across all wraps.
07 - Top each wrap with optional garnishes such as sliced radishes, shredded carrots, or sprouts if desired. Fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to create wraps and serve immediately.
