Asian Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

These healthy Asian Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are so refreshing and flavorful. This light and satisfying meal couldn’t be easier to prepare!

Asian Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

I learned very quickly, a couple years ago, that when I order lettuce wraps at an Asian restaurant, I better be prepared to share with our youngest daughter. Where that little body stuffed all those lettuce wraps, I have no idea, but there wasn’t enough left on my plate to even call it a small appetizer size portion. My still hungry stomach had me ordering more!

So when I asked Tessa if she’d like to help me make Asian Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps for lunch at home recently, she quickly got her cutting board (in yellow, her favorite color) and a butter knife, pushed up her stool, and asked what she could do. Together we chopped and poured, measured and stirred, until we declared it good. Then we sat down to a lettuce wraps feast, bursting with fresh flavors, colors, and textures.

This is just the most perfect light yet satisfying meal. And it’s a great way to get your family eating more fresh veggies, because nobody can resist the fun in creating and eating their own lettuce wraps.
