One of the things I love about summer is the fresh and delicious food. I love veggies straight from the garden, cool crisp salads, fresh fruits, and perfectly grilled meats. I also love that it is a time sit out on the patio and really taste the foods and flavors we eat.
Some of my favorite light and healthy meals are lettuce wraps and I will be sharing a few of my personal favorites {and oh my, they are so delicious} with you over the weekend. I thought it would be fun to get a head start on our meal planning for the summer. Any of these recipes make an easy and quick meal to throw into your rotation!
Rinse lettuce thoroughly. Cut off the end and separate leaves. Set aside.
Toss together chicken, grapes, pecans and scallions. Add sour cream, Greek yogurt, garlic and lemon juice, mixing until combined. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for a couple of hours until ready to serve.
Scoop chicken mixture into lettuce lettuce leaves and enjoy!
{*note: this recipe is delicious and can be tweaked a lot of different ways. Try adding craisens, celery, carrots, apples, etc.}
