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)

Directions

Step 1

Carefully rinse the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Lay each lettuce leaf flat and spoon a portion of the vegetable mixture into the center of the leaf.

Step 5

Drizzle a small amount of the prepared sauce over the vegetables in each lettuce leaf.

Step 6

Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro over the wraps for added flavor and visual appeal.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium vegetable lettuce wraps!
