Mango Chickpea Lettuce Cups with a Spicy Peanut Sauce

Mango Chickpea Lettuce Cups with a Spicy Peanut Sauce

For the Mango Chickpea Lettuce Cups:

1 head Butter (aka: Boston or Bibb) lettuce, leaves gently removed
2 cups cooked chickpea, well rinsed if using canned
1 large ripe mango, roughly diced
1/2 English cucumber, roughly diced
2 Tbsp scallions (green onion), sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup natural peanuts, chopped

Directions:

Serves 4

To create lettuce ‘cups’ simply place two or three leaves together in an overlapping fashion, trying to fit them together such that they form the best cup shape possible (not an exact science).

Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, combine chickpea, mango, cucumber, onion and cilantro. Mix ingredients together gently to combine.

Place about one quarter cup of chickpea filling into each lettuce cup (more/less depending on size of cups). Top each cup with some chopped peanuts.

For the dressing, place all spicy peanut sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk to combine. If you find the consistency too thick, simply add a little more water.

Once the dressing ingredients are well combined, drizzle the spicy peanut sauce over the mango chickpea lettuce cups and enjoy.
