A great light lunch or snack, lettuce wraps are so versatile, tasty and not to mention, super easy to put together. You can use any of your favorite veggies, sprinkle on some of your favorite seeds, add any fresh herbs your heart desires, top with some dried cranberries and add any dressing that satisfies your taste buds. Really, you can make them so many different ways! Plus you're getting tons of great nutrients from all of the raw veggies.
What I have written below is just one in a hundred ways you could create your veggie wrap. Feel free to sub in more or less of anything or add in anything you would like. The amount it yields is also easy to change. The amount of veggies you need depends on how stuffed you like your wraps and how many people you are feeding. What I have below is a lunch just for me, myself and I.
Enjoy!
Healthful Veggie Wraps
2 large, hardy green leaves of your choice (such as romaine, kale, chard)
1 small zucchini (or cucumber), cut into large matchsticks
2-3 radishes, sliced into matchsticks (as best as you can, doesn't need to be perfect!)
1 carrot, grated ( I just use a peeler and "peel"until there is nothing left)
4 green onions, both green and white parts, chopped
1/2 an avocado, sliced
A handful of sprouts
A handful of pine nuts & raw sunflower seeds
1 tsp nutritional yeast
*Optional*
A squeeze or two dressing of your choice (vegan ranch or another creamy dressing would be good)
Once you have all of your veggies prepped, lay out your leaves.
Start layering in your veggies until the leaves are as full as you want, but can be wrapped up easily without breaking.
Sprinkle on your nuts and seeds and top with the nutritional yeast.
Squeeze on some dressing, if desired.
Roll up and serve right away!
