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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

5. Drizzle a teaspoon of the prepared peanut sauce over the vegetable filling. For added crunch, sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts if desired.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

7. Serve the wraps immediately with the remaining peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
