The competition invited people across Northern Ireland to be active and enjoy the great outdoors by packing a healthy picnic and hopping on board the bus or train to explore some of Northern Ireland’s top attractions and beauty spots.

Budding foodies were encouraged to get creative and come up with a unique, healthy lunch idea in order to win some fantastic prizes.

Two creative takes on a classic wrap have been shortlisted and it’s now up to the public to decide who should win.

Lorraine Surgin from Ballynure’s ‘Mediterranean Metro Wrap’, includes a mouth-watering mix of hummus, spinach leaves, sun blushed tomatoes, roasted peppers, scallions, olives and feta cheese in a soft tortilla wrap.

Meanwhile, Barbara Campbell from Coleraine’s Cajun Chicken Wrap brings a little spice to the palate, with sliced chicken fillet, shredded iceberg, sliced tomatoes, scallions, light Cajun mayo, seasoned with black pepper in a tortilla wrap.

The public can now cast their vote for their favourite healthy lunch, via the SuperValu and Centra websites. Entries close on Wednesday, August 8.

The overall winner will take home a cash prize of £500, along with Translink travel ticket vouchers and will also have their creation served in participating SuperValu and Centra delis for the whole country to sample. Part of the proceeds of the competition will be donated to SuperValu and Centra’s charity partner, Action Cancer.
