Lettuce wraps, or should i say gigantic spinach leaves taking over lunch time! Filled with a nourishing vegetable mixture with an asian flare. Now there is nothing better than knowing you will be sitting down to a fulfilling and delicious lunch is there? Do you find lunches are the hardest meal of the day to decide on? Or is that just me? Sometimes you prepare your lunch the day before or sometimes you skip lunch altogether because breakfast turns into brunch and brunch turns into late afternoon snack time, consisting of no nutritious ingredients in sight. Ok, that only happens on the weekends, I promise! So let me share with you these amazing and vibrant vegan lettuce wraps infused with fresh asian flavoured sauces.
I thought it was the perfect time to create a fresh new vegan recipe using one of my favourite ingredients, spinach! We have spinach leaves growing like wild weeds in our backyard so of course I’m going to jump at the opporunity to harvest a few dinosaur sized spinach leaves! Since spring is around the corner and that means summer is fast approaching, we have to get into the swing of things and I’m referring to fresh and summery lunch ideas. Better yet, you can enjoy these asian inspired lettuce cups for your before dinner appetizer!
