Make your wraps the entrรฉe and complement them with substantial side dishes. A light and tangy coleslaw provides a refreshing balance to the richness of the wraps. My Italian bowtie pasta salad is simply delicious alongside these wraps, too.

If you’d like a more filling meal by serving these chicken caesar wraps as a duo with soup, consider a comforting bowl of tomato soup or a hearty minestrone. Or try a small cup of this creamy cheesy potato soup.

A dessert I love to serve with chicken caesar wraps is this summer fruit salad with mint and honey. For an extra indulgent sweet treat, try these strawberry cheesecake cookies.

As for beverages, go with freshly squeezed lemonade for a tangy counterpoint or a fruity sparkling water for a crisp refresher.
