    It’s that difficult time of year for diets. You’ve vowed to eat better, and are off to a good start, but challenges like the Superbowl and Valentine’s Day are on the horizon. Not to mention your picky family that isn’t too keen on plant-based cuisine. Luckily, recipes like these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps can suit almost every occasion without breaking any resolutions.

    Easy Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps for Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Appetites

    Coconut milk doesn’t suit everything, but it’s a natural in Thai peanut sauce. The flavorful combination goes with chicken, vegetables, and even tofu, and adds a thick layer of dairy-free richness.

    We like this recipe for light weeknight dinners and as finger food at casual gatherings. You can also adapt it to suit most dietary needs. For example, substitute baked tofu and omit the fish sauce to make the recipe vegan. Or substitute nut or seed butter for the peanut butter and coconut aminos for the soy sauce to keep paleo.
