Light and fresh asian lettuce wraps filled with spring vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms and peas— a perfect weeknight dinner.

Spring Veggie Lettuce Wraps

I’ve been addicted to lettuce wraps lately and they’ve been on an almost weekly rotation in our house. They’re easy, healthy and full of so much flavor. And they have the special talent of disappearing in record time.

After a week in Mexico, indulging in every delicious thing that came across my path, I was ready for cleaner eating. I was ready for a big pile of fresh veggies. Spring produce to the rescue! 

These veggie lettuce wraps were exactly what the doctor ordered— fresh, healthy, and downright delicious. Maybe even (is it blasphemous for me to say this?) as good as a slice of cake.
