Ingredients

Buffalo Walnut Meat

  • 2 cups California walnuts*

    *optional: soak in cool water for 20 minutes

  • 1/4 cup vegan buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 large onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Vegan Chicken Bouillon Powder
  • 1 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Lettuce Wraps

  • 12 baby romaine lettuce leaves (Bibb, iceberg, or butter lettuce will also work)
  • 3/4 cup tiny cubes carrot
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into tiny cubes
  • 1 small avocado, diced
  • Vegan ranch dressing (optional topping)

Preparation

  1. To prepare Buffalo Walnut Meat, place walnuts in a food processor along with the remaining walnut meat ingredients. Pulse about 8 times until the walnuts are chopped to a ground meat texture, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. To assemble lettuce wraps, rinse lettuce leaves and pat dry between paper towels. Lay in a single layer on a board or tray and scoop about 3 tablespoons of the walnut meat in the center of each.
  3. Sprinkle with carrots, celery, and avocado. Drizzle with ranch dressing, if desired.
