Costa - Chicken and Basil Salad Gluten Free Wrap


After seeing that Costa had launched a new wrap to their gluten free range I was very eager to try it out.

Having on the go gluten free options is still fairly limited so I was excited about this new product.


So I finally made a purchase last weekend whilst out shopping with my little brother.

The price is competitive for what you would find in a coffee shop, so no complaints on that front.

I wasn't too sure about the wrap having seeds in it as I am not a huge fan on seeded bread but I will try most things once.


To my surprise the wrap was very soft and did not fall apart. The seeds were minimal and therefore hardly noticeable.

The filling was just enough, maybe there could have been a little bit more, but less is more when it's too bulky and you end up losing half of the filling through the other end of the wrap (which can make things very messy!).

I let my brother have a taste and he liked it considering he is a bit of a fussy eater sometimes.

Overall, I enjoyed Cosra's Chicken and Basil Salad Gluten Free Wrap and would definitely repurchase on a regular basis especially when I don't have time to make lunch myself. I may even have to purchase the Warbutons wraps (which I always left on the shelf because they were seeded!) and create my own wraps!

Recipe - Gluten Free Tuna Pasta Salad


Tuna Pasta Salad is a quick and easy recipe that can be eaten for lunch or dinner and is perfect for making in large batches and storing in the fridge.

What you will need:


Pasta (gluten free)
Sweet corn
Tuna (in spring water rather than brine)
Mayonnaise
Spring onion
Red pepper
Salt
Pepper
Chilli powder (optional)


Step 1
Add the pasta to a pan of boling water and cook as per instructions on the packet.

Whilst the pasta is boiling with a pinch of salt, prepare the other ingredients.


Step 2
Finely chop the spring onion and red pepper.

Step 3
To a bowl or storage container large enough to store everything (including the pasta) add the tuna, sweet corn, spring onion and red pepper.

Step 4
Then squeeze in just enough mayonnaise to lightly cover and combine the mixture.

Step 5
Add salt, pepper and chilli powder to taste, then set aside in the fridge.

Step 6
Once the pasta has cooked, rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process and cool down the pasta quickly, then drain.


Step 7
Add the cold pasta to the tuna and sweet corn mixture and combine


Enjoy!
