Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 leaves Butter lettuce leaves
- 1 large, julienned Carrot
- 1 medium, julienned Red bell pepper
- 1 small, julienned Cucumber
- 1 cup, shredded Purple cabbage
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup, chopped (optional for garnish) Roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
Instructions
1. Carefully separate 8 butter lettuce leaves, rinse them under cool water, and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Set aside.
2. Prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrot, red bell pepper, and cucumber; shred the purple cabbage; and thinly slice the green onions. Finely chop the fresh cilantro.
3. Make the peanut sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, natural peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, lime juice, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the wraps: Lay out a lettuce leaf on a clean plate or flat surface. Add a small handful of julienned carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, and shredded cabbage in the center of the leaf. Top with a few slices of green onion and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
5. Drizzle a teaspoon of the prepared peanut sauce over the vegetable filling. For added crunch, sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts if desired.
6. Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a wrap (similar to rolling a burrito). Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
7. Serve the wraps immediately with the remaining peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
