Curried Egg In Lettuce

One of the reasons I started this blog was to demonstrate that a healthier way of life does not mean forgoing delicious foods – instead, it just involves a little thought and creativity in the kitchen, using healthier substitutions and a little imagination. Lettuce leaves are a great alternative for breads and wraps and make a healthy light lunch, leaving out the bloat you get from processed breads, and it has far less kilojoules. This is my take on curried egg sandwiches, a staple in my household when growing up. There is something about the combination of curried egg and crisp lettuce that’s so satisfying and loved by many! Here you are getting a great protein hit from the eggs, ensuring you stay fuller for longer and I have made these gluten free, dairy free and super easy to make. Without the use of traditional mayonnaise these also are sugar free and lower in fat.
