Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 leaves Butterhead lettuce (or other large-leaf lettuce)
- 1 large Carrot, finely shredded
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small Cucumber, finely chopped
- 1 cup Red cabbage, thinly shredded
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce alternative (e.g., coconut aminos)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Carefully rinse the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrot, diced bell pepper, chopped cucumber, shredded red cabbage, and sliced green onions. Mix well to evenly distribute the vegetables.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the unsalted peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce alternative (e.g., coconut aminos), lime juice, optional honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. Add a splash of water if needed to achieve a drizzleable consistency.
Lay each lettuce leaf flat and spoon a portion of the vegetable mixture into the center of the leaf.
Drizzle a small amount of the prepared sauce over the vegetables in each lettuce leaf.
Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro over the wraps for added flavor and visual appeal.
Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf inward and wrap the bottom up to create a small wrap. Alternatively, serve open-faced for a taco-style approach.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium vegetable lettuce wraps!
