veggie-slaw lettuce wraps

I love getting creative with veggies.

Especially with all the wonderful things available right now that are super-FRESH.

So last night I was wanting to make some kind of slaw...but wanted to avoid mayo.

Which is not like me at all.

But, it's been ultra-full-steam ahead with my quest to eliminate processed foods lately.

Here's what I came up with:

Veggie-Slaw Lettuce Wraps.

What's inside:

2 cups shredded cabbage

half a red bell pepper, cut into small strips

1 small carrot, strips or diced
1 cucumber, diced

half a cup of fresh snow peas

1 small tomato, diced

2 tablespoons cilantro

(I meant to put some almonds in too, but forgot.)

(And I also wanted to put in some diced avocado, but mine weren't ripe enough.)

(But you should add those things.)

:)

Dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup (or less) Balsamic vinegar

1-2 teaspoons honey

pinch of salt and pepper

Mix everything together and put in Romaine lettuce leaves.

It is sooooo good!

And crunchy!

And tangy.

And healthy!

Even K-Man tried one.

He said, "Okay, how do I eat this thing...like a hot dog?"

Exactly.

And little does he know, this is his new hot dog from here on out!

Bless his heart.

Anyway, I hope you'll give it a try.

And make it your own by adding whatever you've got on hand.

Just keep it healthy, and as local as possible!

Lastly,

I want you to guess what this is:

I ate a couple teaspoons of it with my morning tea.

Guess what it is!
