I found this recipe in a recent issue of Weight Watchers and it totally caught my attention. Lettuce leaves, edamame, vegetarian...yes please! I made this for dinner tonight after our church picnic...it was so easy to prepare.
This recipe was supposed to be eaten as a lettuce wrap but I decided to chop up my garden fresh lettuce instead and mix it all together. I loved this recipe! The only thing I personally think it needed was some protein but next time I'll either add some grilled chicken or some toasted almonds. Let's be totally honest, I'll add the almonds...or cashews. :)
1/2 c packaged coleslaw mix
1/2 c shelled edamame
1/4 c shredded carrots
2 tsp reduced-calorie sesame salad dressing
2 romaine lettuce leaves
rice vinegar (splash)
2 tsp chopped scallion
1 tsp sesame seeds
chopped fresh mint (to taste)
In a small bowl mix the coleslaw mix, edamame, and carrots. Set aside.
In a second small bowl mix the salad dressing and rice vinegar. Pour on top of the coleslaw mixture and toss to combine. Spoon into lettuce leaves. Garnish/top with scallions, sesame seeds and mint.
