Begin by making the hummus if you don’t have premade. Any of the Hummus Recipes on this page are great options.
Disassemble the head of lettuce you plan to use and choose the right size leaves. Preference for this can vary by the amount of filling to be used in each one. Remember to wash the leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
Go ahead and prep the veggies for the filling. You really can use whichever vegetables are preferred. The ones mentioned in this recipe are garlic, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, green onions, cilantro, and jalapeno. You’ll want to wash, peel, deseed, and slice them accordingly.
In a large bowl toss together all of the prepared vegetables. Add the vinegar and stir.
Next, add the hummus and stir again. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To make the lettuce wraps, fill the center of each lettuce leaf with about 1/4 cup of the dressed vegetables. Arrange the filled leaves on a platter. To eat, fold the sides together into a little wrap.
