Lettuce Wraps in Different Yummy Ways

for the Grape & Apple Wrap



I know its fall and these are more of a summer kinda dish, but I can't stop making these 2 variations of lettuce wraps that are easy and delicious! For both lettuce wraps I used the same kind of chicken sautéed in soy sauce and sesame seeds. You can season it however you would like. When chicken is cooking prepare the other ingredients.

So here are the quick simple steps for the Grape and Apple wrap.
Chop up grapes, apples, and cashews (or any nut of choice to give it a crunchy texture). Add the Tessamae's Ranch dressing. Take a piece of lettuce and add the chopped food with the chicken and Voila!

For the next wrap I chopped up avocados and used this mango pineapple salsa I got from Whole Foods. You can easily make it yourself-- mangos, pineapples, cilantro, salt, pepper, lemon juice, peppers, jalapeno, and olive oil. Add it all together with the chicken on the lettuce and enjoy! Beware the mango pineapple salsa has a slight hot kick. Well for me a big hot kick (I'm a baby when it comes to hot things but I'm trying to train my taste buds!). But these are a great light crisp meal. I really love lettuce wraps because the food inside is so warm and tasty while the outside lettuce wrap is so crispy and refreshing. mm mm good!

P.S. This dressing is a must have in your refrigerator! Its an olive oil based dressing with ranch flavoring, which means its a healthy and a GOOD version of ranch dressing. Like I said, it is a must have! :)
