    I've always been what I consider to be a generally healthy eater, but there was definitely a time when I would have skipped over this blog post if it showed up in my feed. I would have skipped anything labeled "lettuce wraps," for that matter, in search of some bread. Not anymore!

    I guess since you're here, half the battle's won, so maybe you aren't as hard a sell as I am. Regardless, I'm just going to put it out there that lettuce wraps are the bomb. I'll never skip another lettuce wrap post again, unless it has steak or something like that.

    I discovered last summer that I really like lettuce wraps and they can be just as satisfying as any old tortilla or pita or whatever wrap. I eat satisfying salads all the time, so I'm not sure why this took so long to sink in. What I really, really love about these lettuce wraps though, is that each one is like a self contained Greek salad, which I consider to be among the most satisfying and delicious of salads. This Greek salad turned out to be one of the tastiest Greek salads I've ever had. Maybe the tzaziki had something to do with that. Greek as it may be, I don't usually see tzatziki on Greek salads, but I made the stuff a while back for this recipe, and seeing as I loved it so much, I figured it was time to see what else I could toss it in.

    The other thing about this particular lettuce wrap, for all you carb fiends (myself included) is that it does give you a little carb fix, in the form of chickpeas, which are also conveniently packed with protein. Maybe that's why these were so darn satisfying.

      I love lettuce wraps- even if it's just salsa and lettuce wraps. I also used to love greek salad (I even wrote an English Assignment on it when I was 10) so this is...... so amazing!

      This is a great idea! I love the greek salad flavours, and it's awesome that it's protein packed but lightened up by using lettuce instead of pitas. Perfect for a light lunch!

      Am definitely going to make this for lunch this week. Will just substitute regular Greek dressing for the silken tofu tzaziki as I can't have tofu.
