SIDE NOTES:
~ We really enjoyed this spicy salad as a filling for lettuce wraps. I spread on some nut-butter before wrapping them up, & it made a very tasty lunch. Â Instead of using straight nut-butter, you can make a peanut sauce for dipping if you’re in a fancy mood.
~ Â You’ll have to play around with the red pepper flakes/cayenne to see how much works for you.
~ If your kids are tentative about eating anything green & leafy, you might want to give LETTUCE-WRAPS a try (have them help you make them). Of course, use a filling you know they’ll like.  It can be anything…. tuna fish, egg salad, turkey & cheese, chicken salad, whatever.  My kids’ favorite filling for a lettuce wrap is CHICKPEA-SALAD.
