Cashew Lettuce Wraps (Vegan)

06 Mar Cashew Lettuce Wraps (Vegan)

Lately when I drop my kiddos off at their preschool, their garden has been filled with beautifully lush and brightly colored lettuces. The experience of seeing and appreciating the lettuce is only topped by knowing that my children get to attend school where they have a garden and experience the planting, growing and eating of these delicious plants. Inspired by these lettuces, I wanted to create a recipe to feature them. The wraps I created here are plant forward and vegan to honor the lettuce that holds them. They are also paleo and whole 30! These wraps are a delicious way to eat your veggies today!
