Rainbow Lettuce Wrap with Peanut Sauce

By Jen Paleracio | July 10, 2017

Perfect Summer wrap, no cooking – just chopping!

I was at the Farmers Market last weekend, totally went crazy buying those bright colored bell peppers and fresh cucumbers. These veggies are the perfect pair with fresh cilantro and mint leaves. I kinda thought of Vietnamese spring rolls but instead of the rice wrap, I used romaine lettuce. The peanut sauce is amazing, I save the leftovers for my salad the next day. It’s perfect with any salad – if you asked me.

 

Let’s get chopping!
