These Loaded BLT Lettuce Wraps hit EVERY MARK. SUPER flavorful, loaded with veggies, healthy, and the homemade Yogurt Herb Dressing hits the spot!
Now friends: I realized I called this BLT lettuce wraps, but it needed some protein. So..I baked a plain chicken breast with some olive oil, salt and pepper, let it cool, and added it in with my chopped veggies alongside some bacon (yes, double protein- I’m hungry, okay? Stop judging me!). You could easily add/subtract whatever sounds good- even adding some zucchini would be fab! Or cheddar cheese…But I’m trying to do more skinny dipping than chunky dunking lately 🙂 Oy vey dieting is it’s own hell…I digress.
Next I made my dressing for my BLT Lettuce Wraps; I combined non fat greek yogurt, a smidgeon of olive oil, powdered garlic, fresh chopped dill, dried basil, rosemary, and some white vinegar. It’s almost like ranch, but way healthier! BLT + Lettuce + Homemade dressing? You had me at BLT.
Pour the dressing over the BLT salad mixture, give it a stir, and scoop on top of fresh romaine lettuce.
TIP: Careful not to overdress. If you are going to try to keep the lettuce wrap filing in the fridge for a few days, leave the dressing in the jar and put it in a small Tupperware container. Badda boom, badda bing- easy and not soggy!
Hopefully I’ll be skinny dipping vs. chunky dunking by 2020 with the help of these lettuce wraps! Here’s to healthy recipes!
