This is a great take on a lettuce wrap, only in this case, it is a meat free option and Greek salad is the star. Greek Lettuce Cups is a salad wrapped up in the lettuce leaves and eaten like a taco… how fun! I love the idea that you can eat your salad with your hands… who wouldn’t?
Depending on how large your lettuce leaves are and/or how sturdy they are, I will use two leaves (right on top of each other) to create my cup or wrap to hold the Greek Salad. I found really cute, baby heads of Gem Lettuce at Sprouts, so these were just great using two lettuce leaves per serving and putting them on a platter for self-serve.
If you like Greek food, be sure to try my Greek Shrimp with Feta Sauce or my Greek inspired Zucchini Boats. Both are family favorites.

Prep all your vegetables by washing, drying and chopping where necessary. Chop your cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, bell pepper and Kalamata olives. Put to the side and make your dressing.

Place two lettuce leaves on top of each other and top with a couple of heaping tablespoons of the mixed salad. Serve on a platter with fresh oregano sprinkled on top. This is a great addition to a game day spread. I find people are more likely to grab some salad if it is in a “taco” shape!!! Who knew? Kids love the presentation to and because they can eat with their hands, don’t even acknowledge they are eating veggies. Interesting, right?
