Reviews
All of my family, including our two picky eaters, really liked this meal! I served the peanut sauce on the side in case the kids didn't liked it . One kid loved this sauce and the other preferred the Cheesecake Factory peanut sauce that I also made, just in case. This is a nice healthy meal, it also presents really nice and would be good for guests. Thank you for the recipe!
We really enjoyed this dish, and the leftovers reheated beautifully for a healthy lunch. I will admit that I used PB2 in place of the reduced fat peanut butter, and added it directly to the mayo. It wasn’t quite as smooth as I think it would have been with the reduced fat version, but it did have a better peanut flavor. Will definitely make this again
Healthy and tasty - a great combination! You can substitute peanut sauce for the peanut butter.The Bibb lettuce works well as a wrap. Nice luncheon dish!
I made mine using a pound of lean ground chicken, which I seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. After fully cooked, I tossed in the bell pepper and carrots and briefly sauteed them. I then added the sauce at the end (using Natural PB in place of the reduced fat and 2 tsp of Jalapeno Olive Oil in lieu of the canola oil) and served the dish warm. YUMMO! Definitely adding this to the rotation!
Used regular Hellmann's and natural peanut butter (what we had on hand) and omitted red pepper. Whole family loved it!
Excellent. In AZ I like something that doesn't have to be hot for dinner. This is an excellent combination of flavors. Don't over do it on the dressing. Save some for another batch of wraps later.
This was amazing. I made this to try with the intention of adding this to our list of summer meals. Way better than PF Chang's. My son absolutely loved it, but he is not a picky eater and likes to try new things.
Really refreshing on a hot evening. I replaced the chopped red pepper with 1 cup cooked and cooled edamame.
Very very good! An amazing blend of flavors and textures. Have made it twice already - perfect for a light summer dinner. I substituted tahini for the sesame oil - turned out perfect.
This was incredibly delicious! I think better than PF Chang's
