These lettuce wraps are filled with flavor thanks to pineapple's natural sweetness.
Ingredients
Dressing
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Lettuce Wraps
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag broccoli florets, chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple, drained (about 2½ cups)
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Dressing
  1. In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, coconut milk, oil, honey, and salt. Blend until smooth. (Alternatively, you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.)
Lettuce Wraps
  1. In a large wok or skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli has slightly browned, for about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, then the chicken, pineapple, and carrot. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the pineapple is soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  5. Spread ⅓ to ½ cup of the mixture evenly onto each lettuce leaf. Drizzle with dressing, and roll up the wraps
Notes
