Wraps are a fantastic choice for a quick and tasty meal, whether you’re making chicken wraps, veggie wraps, or something more indulgent. But what goes with wraps for dinner? The right side dish can turn a simple wrap into a complete and satisfying meal. Whether you want something fresh and light, crispy and indulgent, or packed with flavour, this list has you covered.

Fresh and Light Side Dishes

If you’re looking for something refreshing, these salads and veggie sides are a great way to balance out your wrap meal.

Greek Salad With Feta And Olives 

A classic mix of fresh tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and olives, drizzled with olive oil. I love a Greek salad, but I skip the olives, which are vile!

Cucumber And Tomato Salad

Light, refreshing, and full of flavour, this is the perfect side for any wrap.

Cucumber And Tomato Salad Recipe 

Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber, sliced
• 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
• ½ small red onion, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

For the Dressing:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Method:

1. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat.

Avocado, Corn, And Black Bean Salad

Packed with healthy fats and protein, this salad is ideal for chicken wraps or vegetarian wraps. Chop the avocado, warm up some frozen corn, and toss it in a bowl with some black beans. Simply drizzle in olive oil or use your favourite dressing and serve. 

Caprese Salad

Juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella with a drizzle of balsamic glaze- this is one of my favourite salads. Simple, but the combination of flavours and textures is just perfect!

Hummus And Vegetable Platter

Fresh veggies with creamy hummus make a simple yet delicious pairing. My daughter and I love a hummus lunch or side dish. 

Crispy and Comforting Side Dishes

If you want something crunchy and satisfying, these side dishes are perfect for serving with wraps.

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries 

Sweet and salty, these are a great alternative to regular fries that add some colour to your plate. 

Baked Parmesan Courgette Fries 

A crispy, cheesy option that works well with any wrap filling. For simple courgette fries, slice into long wedges, brush with oil and sprinkle on some parmesan, salt and pepper and breakcrumbs. Bake for around 10 minutes at 180 degrees C (fan-assisted).

Roasted Garlic And Herb Potatoes 

Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and full of flavour. If I want chips but a bit fancier, this is my go-to!

Roasted Garlic And Herb Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 500g baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp dried mixed herbs (or a mix of rosemary and thyme)
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (fan-assisted).
2. In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray in a single layer.
4. Roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

Fries And Coleslaw 

A classic pairing for chicken wraps and other wraps for dinner! I’ve included plenty of nutritious and pretty side dishes on this list, but most of the time, my dinner wraps are served with chips, fries or potato waffles and some coleslaw or chopped veggies. It doesn’t need to be complicated to be good!

Mexican Street Corn 

Grilled corn covered in a creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy sauce, Mexican street corn is a game-changer if you aren’t particularly bothered about corn on the cob. 

Warm and Hearty Side Dishes

If you want something more filling, these hot sides will round out your meal, making it feel more like a dinner!

Quinoa And Vegetable Stir Fry

A healthy and hearty side dish packed with flavour. My kids would rather have noodles than quinoa, but they love stir-fried veggies. 

Garlic And Herb Roasted Vegetables

Roasted bell peppers, courgette, carrots, and sprouts tossed in oil, crushed garlic and mixed herbs for a warm, flavourful side.

Brussels Sprouts With Bacon 

Crispy and caramelised, these work well with hearty wrap fillings. My kids love Brussels sprouts and bacon. I realise this perhaps isn’t the norm!

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:

• 300g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 4 rashers streaky bacon, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• ½ tsp. Dijon mustard
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Method:

1. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil and cook the Brussels sprouts for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Add the olive oil to the same pan, then fry the Brussels sprouts for 5-7 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard.
5. Return the bacon to the pan, pour over the dressing, and toss everything together.
6. Season with salt and black pepper, then serve warm.

Grilled Corn On The Cob 

A smoky, slightly sweet side that pairs perfectly with chicken wraps.

Cheesy Mashed Potatoes 

Creamy, rich, and comforting, adding mash is always a good idea!

Healthy Sides for Chicken Wraps

Now, as a busy mum, I often just throw some sliced cucumber, pepper and tomatoes on to the side of the kids’ plates and call it a salad. Let’s be honest; those are the bits that they like and will eat. Easy, cheap, and nutritious, and they get eaten, which is always the priority!

I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with keeping it simple. My daughter likes some hummus with those veggies, but my son will just have them as they are. Neither would eat them if I started adding leaves and dressing. 

It doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy to be healthy! A few cucumber sticks in a happy belly are much healthier than a fancy salad left on the plate. 

However, if you do want to add something a little nicer, here are some options if you’re making chicken wraps and want a healthy side.

Roasted Green Beans With Almonds 

Crunchy and full of nutrients, beans and almonds are such a great flavour. 

Roasted Green Beans With Almonds Recipe

Ingredients:

• 300g green beans, trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 30g flaked almonds
• ½ tsp salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (fan-assisted).
2. In a bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread them out on a baking tray in a single layer.
4. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
5. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.

Steamed Broccoli With Garlic Butter 

A simple, healthy side. Simply steam your broccoli florets, mix some crushed garlic with butter, and toss together once the broccoli has been drained. 

Lemon And Herb Couscous 

Light, fluffy, and full of flavour, you can even buy it in a pack and just stir in some hot water. 

Spinach And Strawberry Salad

Sweet, tangy, and packed with vitamins, this is a great option for the summer.
