Veggie wraps are fun and easy to make, ideal as a snack and a perfect alternative to bread when you're trying to lower your carb intake. They are grain-free, gluten-free, fiber-packed and totally customizable! Besides lettuce, you can use chard, kale, and collard greens to make these wraps too. I am using mint and green pea dip, but you could try any spreads and sauces you enjoy--try traditional hummus, guacamole, peanut sauce or ranch.

WrapsMint and Green Pea Dip
  • 1 head Butter lettuce
  • 2 Kiwi, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 Carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 Red bell pepper, cut into sticks
  • 1 Yellow bell pepper, cut into sticks
  • 1 Cucumber, cut into sticks
  • 1 bunch Cherry radishes, cut into strips
  • 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 150 g Feta, crumbled
  • Dill
  • 250 g Frozen green pes
  • 3 tbsp Tahini
  • 3 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 Green chilli pepper, seeded & chopped
  • 25 g Fresh mint leaves
  • 2 Spring onions, chopped
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  1. Place the frozen peas in a small saucepan and cover with water. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat off and drain the peas.
  2. Transfer the drained peas to a food processor and pulse a few times until the peas becomes a chunky puree. Add in tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, chopped chilli pepper, mint leaves, chopped spring onions, salt and pepper. Process until you have a smooth and thick puree.
  3. Taste and season with more salt and pepper. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, freshly milled black pepper and a few pieces of peas if desired.
  4. Place the two lettuce leaves, overlapping by about one-third. Crumble some feta over and arrange the vegetable and kiwi sticks on top. Season with salt and pepper. Gently roll it up, tuck in the end and secure the bundle with a kitchen twine. Place the bundles in a large serving bowl or platter with the dip. Sprinkle some dill fronds over.

  5. I'd probably dip headlong into that pea dip as I adore peas and garlic combo minus the mint. I like to put smoked mayo in it.

  6. YUM! What a fresh, light lunch for the sweltering days of summer (which have arrived!). I'm getting some tweaks on my blog, so I think that may be why you didn't see your comments. They're in my dashboard but I don't see them on my blog, either. Sigh. Thanks for being such a loyal friend and follower, Angie!! xo
