Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Green Goddess Dressing



Wrap:

4 large lettuce leave (Boston, Butter, Romaine)

1/3 cucumber sliced very thinly

Tomato thinly sliced, a few slices

8 oz. organic turkey or ham, thinly sliced 6 pieces


Green Goddess Dressing:

1 avocado

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons chives

3-4 tablespoons fresh tarragon

1 teaspoon anchovy paste

1 1/2 fresh lemon juice, or more

Fresh ground black pepper

Make the dressing:  Place the avocado, mayo, chives, tarragon, anchovy paste and lemon juice in the blender, blend until smooth and creamy, thin with lemon juice.  Taste and season with pepper.

Place slices of turkey atop unfurled lettuce leaves, spread with dressing and add cucumber and tomato and roll up to create a wrap.

NOTES:

The original recipe calls for salt.  With the anchovy paste, there is enough salt in the dressing.

The original recipe calls for avocado mayo (which is pricey.)  Just use regular mayo.

I found it makes a real mess to try and wrap this sandwich.  Instead, I put turkey on top of the lettuce with some dressing on top of that.

I didn't bother with the tomato, and I had the cucumber and small pile of dressing on the side to dip into.  That worked for me.
