Lettuce wraps are a classic dish in Southeast Asia, but the filling is typically made from some type of minced meat. We decided to put a raw vegan spin on this dish and make the meat filling out of walnuts. The other vegetables in these wraps add refreshing crunch, and you can use your choice of filling ingredients, as long as they are cleanse approved.
