Lettuce Roll-ups

The stealthy snack: Ditch the boring bread. These Lettuce Roll-ups are like tiny edible tuxedos for all your favourite sandwich fillings. Sneak some veggies in while you’re at it. Shhh, don’t tell the taste buds.

Ingredients

• 8 Iceberg lettuce leaves
• 2 Tbsp. reduced fat mayonnaise
• 1 tsp. mustard
• 3 (40g) prosciutto slices (or any other lean ham) or 30g chicken breast, strips
• 6 slices cucumber
• 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half

You will also need:

• 1 piece of baking paper (30cm x 30cm)

Method

1. On a cutting board, place the baking paper. Layer 5 – 8 lettuce leaves in the middle of the baking paper. The sides of the lettuce leaves should be on top of each other, leaving no space between them. Layer the topping by spreading first the mustard and then the mayonnaise.
2. Add the prosciutto (lean ham or chicken breast), slices of cucumber, and tomatoes.
3. Roll the lettuce by using the baking paper as your base and as tight as possible.
4. Halfway through rolling, fold the edges towards the centre and continue rolling like a burrito. When it’s completely wrapped, roll the remainder of the baking paper around the lettuce.
5. Using a knife, slice in half and enjoy.
