The Sandwich--veggie RollTad Seaborn/The Globe and Mail

The holiday decorations are drooping and egg nog is no longer an acceptable milk substitute. Yes, it's time to eat healthy. But cheer up – eating lighter can still be flavourful, and even feel good after all the indulgence. Veggie wraps are quick to make and can be customized to your tastes. Take your favourite salad and turn it into finger food by wrapping it in rice paper.
