Wraps are ideal for Alfresco dining

Autumn and Spring are my favourite times of the year - the best times to enjoy the outdoors with the slight coolness in the air and the sun on your back.  

Wraps are a convenient way to satisfy those healthy appetite and they appeal to everyone.  Of course you can put them together at home and transport to the site but some prefer the extra freshness when they are rolled on site.

Here are some suggestions:
Supply the mustard, relish, and pickles.
Cream cheese, thinly sliced red onion and smoked salmon;
Dijon mustard spread first, then layer with thinly sliced pear, chopped walnuts, crumbled blue cheese or sliced brie;
Sliced smoked turkey or ham and Swiss cheese pair nicely with Dijon mustard too;
Guacamole or sliced avocado, cheese slices, thinly sliced red onion, thin slices of canned, drained jalapeno.
