Thai Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Satay Sauce

These healthy and delicious Thai Lettuce Wraps are a breeze to make and super customizable.

These Thai Lettuce Wraps are everything in my world right now. Not even joking. They're packed full of tasty veggies and chicken all swimming around in a crazy deelish Asian-y sauce. We've been eating them for dinner and the leftovers for lunch. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to whip them up for breakfast.

And then there's the satay sauce. You guys, Thai lettuce wraps are ALL about the satay sauce, and this one is blowing my mind.

While you're at it, you should double (triple?) up the satay portion of the recipe. It lasts about a week in the fridge and you can slather it on everything. Need a few ideas? Try these:

• As a dip for some roasted veggies.
• Or for spring rolls.
• Poured over your rice or quinoa.
• Thinned with a little water and tossed with some noodles.
• On top of some BBQ chicken or pork.
• As a dressing for some crunchy, Thai salad.
• With some tofu kebabs. And pineapple? Yes, definitely pineapple tofu kebabs.
• Straight from the spoon. Ya, this one for sure.

I can't stress this enough … you guys need to make these Thai Lettuce Wraps. And then invite me over, k. 🙂

Don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients. Dinner comes together far faster than you'd think. There are three parts to the recipe, and each is very simple.

But watch out … these guys are messy to eat. #SoNotFirstDateFood!
