Recipe: lettuce wraps

via casidy’s iphone

If you are looking for a new summer dinner favorite (think fresh, light and filling) then look no further. These “tacos” and salad are it. They are super healthy and most important, delicious.

:: how to do it ::


Tacos:
For the tacos, use a big leaf lettuce instead of the normal tortilla. (I prefer cabbage or butter lettuce.) For the filling, I rinsed and drained 1 can of black beans and mixed it with a diced up summer squash. (I flash-sauteed my squash but you can certainly eat it raw) For the dressing, mix up olive oil, honey, cilantro, salt and half of a fresh squeezed lime. Toss everything together and sprinkle with non-fat feta cheese. (optional, of course) 


Salad:
This tomato and avocado salad is stupid-good. I saw it on pinterest and thought knew I needed to try it. It seemed like the perfect compliment to my lettuce tacos and luckily, I was right :) Here’s the recipe I used.  The balsamic vinegar adds the extra (sweet) punch that really makes this salad aaaamazing. 

Happy Eating!

    Those look tasty! I always forget about using lettuce in place of a tortilla or other carb.
