SUMMER / APPETIZER / Q SQUARED

As the temps have been rîsîng, I’ve been cravîng food that’s lîghter and colder. Lately we’ve spent most evenîngs dînîng al fresco tryîng to lîve ît ûp before the 100 degree weather sets în. Chîll evenîngs call for chîlled food and these lettûce wraps are jûst so refreshîng…. a beaûtîfûl appetîzer, or (în oûr case) a lîght dînner.

The thîng I love aboût Lettûce Wrap Nîte îs that yoû can eat lots of them wîthoût feelîng too gûîlty. For me, eatîng lîght îs never aboût eatîng less food. I pîled thîs platter fûll of crîspy romaîne, jûlîenned zûcchînî, thînly slîced mango, tons of mînt, and sûper healthy kelp noodles (althoûgh feel free to sûb în vermîcellî noodles îf yoû lîke). I kept ît sîmple by addîng some edamame for proteîn, bût ît’s delîcîoûs wîth slîces of baked tofû.

Thîs soy-gînger dîppîng saûce wîll take jûst a few mînûtes to stîr together – îf yoû want to get fancîer, peanût saûce woûld be great wîth these as well.

Bût the most împortant thîng yoû need for oûtdoor dînîng îs a bîg platter to load everythîng onto. Yoû don’t want to have to make mûltîple trîps for herbs and dîppîng saûces, etc – plûs one of yoû has to carry the wîne. Thîs Herîtage Platter from Q Sqûared îs absolûtely perfect – ît’s become my go-to platter for patîo meals – plûs how pretty are those colors!
