I love a lettuce cup, especially the ones you get at Asian restaurants. In these Buffalo Cauliflower Lettuce Cups, I love the freshness and crunch factor.
These Buffalo Cauliflower Lettuce Cups are healthy, delicious, and would undoubtedly make a great addition to your game day spread. Honestly, I love meat, however I don’t miss the meat in these as there is so much other flavour. Additionally they taste so fresh! The blue cheese adds just that right amount of kick but without overkill. The strong flavour is off-set by the mild lettuce taste, and certainly isn’t overpowering.
What is Butter Lettuce?
- Butter lettuce is known for its mild flavour, sweet leaves. You can get two varieties: Bibb and Boston lettuce.
- It is called butter lettuce as it melts in the mouth like butter! I personally find it delicious, and the leaves really do make the perfect cups for this dish.
