Fitness Friday #4: Raw Recipe

A couple of weeks ago I was looking online, trying to find some new dinner ideas and stumbled upon this blog. I found a recipe for thai lettuce wraps and just had to try them. They were delicious!

Raw Thai Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:
½ cup zucchini, diced
½ cup Champignon mushrooms, diced
½ cup red bell pepper, diced
½ cup fresh cilantro, minced
½ cup scallions, minced (greens only)


Sauce:
½ cup raw wild honey
¼ cup nama shoyu
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds, hulled
2 Tablespoons sesame Oil
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes


Garnish:
1 head of lettuce, Butter, Bib, or Romaine
2 cups mung bean sprouts
1 carrot


Gently pull-apart lettuce leaves wash and let dry on paper towel. Prepare the sauce in a food processor fitted with an s-blade by adding all ingredients and pulsing 3-4 times. Add diced vegetables to processor and pulse 3-4 more times until all ingredients are incorporated. Place 2-3 lettuce leaves on plate, scoop 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable mixture onto each leaf. Garnish with mung beans, and grated carrot.

*I did change this a little bit, I didn't use any walnuts, just veggies (the recipe calls for 2 cups to mix into the veggie mixture, and I forgot to get green onions! But it was still amazingly good!
