Butter Lettuce Wraps with Grilled Halloumi and Spinach
**Butter Lettuce Wraps with Grilled Halloumi and Spinach**
These butter lettuce wraps are a light and refreshing way to enjoy grilled halloumi. The halloumi is salty and slightly tangy, and it pairs well with the sweet and juicy spinach and the creamy lemon-tahini dressing. The wraps are also topped with chopped red onion and cilantro for a bit of extra flavor and crunch.
These wraps are perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
**The Backstory**
I first had these wraps at a restaurant in New York City. I was immediately drawn to the combination of flavors and textures, and I knew I had to recreate them at home. I experimented with different ingredients and proportions, and I finally came up with a recipe that I love.
These wraps are a great way to use up leftover grilled halloumi. They're also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The spinach is packed with nutrients, and the red onion and cilantro add a boost of flavor and antioxidants.
I hope you enjoy these wraps as much as I do!
