Veggie Roll Ups

Okay you guys, I'll just go ahead and admit that this isnt really a recipie, but I make it at least once a week for lunch or a light dinner and it's so delicious! Recently I have partaked in a Raw Wednesday Challenge proposed by Gena from http://www.choosingraw.com/ and Jenna (both pronounced the same way!) from http://www.eatliverun.com/ .

Looking for a way to try new things, I promptly accepted the offer! Now here comes the yummy lettuce roll ups...it's really simple...so get ready!
Lettuce Roll Ups:
Lay down a large romaine leaf, fill it with raw hummus (or normal hummus if you wish), add sliced tomatoe, sliced carrots, sliced avacado, sprouts and grate more carrots over the top if you want it all pretty. Then if you want even more flava you can put a lil' drizzle of the dressing of your choosing.
*NOTE*
The difference between raw hummus and normal hummus is this. Raw hummus is made of soaked nuts along with all of the tahini and other hummus ingredients. The raw foodists believe that this no bean method is alot easier for your body to digest than normal chickpea beans for the hummus. I thinks both are equally delicious. You can find a good raw hummus recipe in Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow- here is a link :
