Lettuce Cups
One of my go-to weeknight healthy dinners!
This recipe is perfect when you are craving a healthy but yum dinner, it is super light but also really satisfying because it is packed with flavour!
With these, you can make them your own! This is a good base, however feel free to add what you like to it. I like to add vermicelli noodles to mine to bulk it up a bit, but you could also serve with some rice to make it more filling. If you are vegetarian, you could replace the mince with Tofu!
The options are endless!
I make these at least once a month, especially in summer. They are just a really yummy easy dinner.
If you love them and make them as much as I do, please let me know in the comments below!
