Healthy Lettuce Cups

 My version of Ingrid Hoffmann’s Lettuce Cups

  • 1 can artichoke hearts cubed
  • 1 can heart of palm, cubed
  • 3 Tbl. white vinegar
  • 2 avacados cut into large chunks
  • 1/2 cucumber cubed
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 1 container butter lettuce
  • salt & pepper to taste

 

Chop up the onion, cucumber, avacados, heart of palm, artichokes, and the cilantro then mix with vinegar and salt and pepper.

 Tear off individual pieces of butter lettuce leaves and fill with mixture and serve like tacos.

This is a great alternative to having a salad at dinner time and the kids will enjoy it more when they can fix it themselves.

My kids don’t have a choice as far as them not wanting to eat their vegetables or not, so by letting them be involved either with preparing the food or serving themselves they still feel

like they do have some options when it’s time to eat our meals. I can’t afford not to make them eat what’s good for them, it’s my job and I want them to live long and in good health.

I hope you try this recipe out and let me know if you enjoyed it as much as we did.
