🍲 Ingredients
Cherries – Cherries are often an underrated fruit that are actually filled with benefits. For these lettuce wraps I used cherry juice in the salsa which adds a tartness to the sharpness of the jalapeños, the sweetness of the sugar, and sourness of the lime, you get the perfect mix of flavours. Often you’ll see lettuce wraps paired with vegan peanut sauces but this is a great alternative. Cherries are known as America’s super fruit because they offer vital nutrients to support your health. One cup of cherries actually contains only 90 calories and are filled with a supply of fiber, protein, and vitamin A and C.
Vitamin A supports a healthy immune system, protects your eyes, keeps your skin healthy, supports strong bones, and the list goes on.
Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant that can help improve iron absorption from plant sources, which is great in a plant based diet, and it’s known to boost the immune system and aid in making collagen.
Walnuts – The walnuts are rich in antioxidants, super packed with Omega 3s, help promote a healthy gut, and the benefit list goes on, and on. While the lentils are great for keeping your heart healthy, are loaded with fibre, folic acid, and potassium, and include essential vitamins and minerals. They are a great protein source in any vegan or plant based diet. The mix of spices really adds a strong flavour to this “meat” that completes these lettuce wraps. I also love how the walnuts add a good crunch that you wouldn’t get with traditional ground beef.
