When I was dealing with gestational diabetes, this recipe was a game-changer. It's so simple, yet so satisfying. The fresh veggies paired with creamy hummus and wrapped in crunchy lettuce create a combination that's both flavorful and refreshing.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry

  2. Spread a generous amount of hummus on each lettuce leaf

  3. Top with your favorite sliced veggies

  4. That's it! You're ready to enjoy your veggie-packed delight

Note

Store any leftover hummus and veggie lettuce boats separately. Transfer the hummus to an airtight container and keep the lettuce leaves and vegetable fillings in separate containers in the refrigerator. When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, assemble the lettuce boats with fresh lettuce leaves, hummus, and vegetable fillings. You can also add additional toppings or drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice for extra flavor.
