Back in the 70s, my friend Kate and her family made wambachers when we first met. I’m not sure if they created them or not, but they are so vegie yummy. This is my version. Lunch!
You take big wambach cabbage leaves (napa), wash them, and lay them out. (I primarily eat organic, but the cabbage and bean sprouts this time were not, only because I couldn’t find organic at the same time as my craving!)
Spread whatever you want as a dressing. It can be plain yogurt, salad dressing, mayo, whatever. These have olive oil mayo with a touch of Cardini’s Caesar. (I most often try to use 1/2 yogurt to cut the calories.)
Next I sprinkled on some shredded coconut and home-grown alfalfa sprouts.
Add thin-sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, no-salt seasoning, sea salt, and kelp.
I added a little gouda cheese and red onion. (To go vegan, skip the cheese.)
Then, I added bean sprouts
Fold in half like a hambuger, get a napkin, and dive in!
Yum, yum!
And a fig for dessert!
Oh my goodness, these look amazing.
They were. 🙂 Yum. I ate the whole thing!
Looks perfect for this hot weather! We seem to have more and more salads. Thanks!
And it is kind of fun hands-on food. You substitue all manner of stuffing in them.
Oh that looks so yummy!
I used to make them all the time, and got out of the habit. WHen I was out shopping today, it was hot and I was hungry, and I had a yummy flashback!
I am so sorry it is hot as all going out there but I love your FLASHBACKS!

The fig looks very tempting.
Aw, come on. You should go for the vegies, too!
This not only looks tempting, it looks HEALTHY! Kudos. And I love figs!
Yeah, fills you up but doesn’t weigh you down. In just an hour or so you can still be tempted by ice cream!
Looks very yummy…I will have to give it a try.
I hope you like it!
interesting; have never heard of this. I’m made Lettuce wraps/sandwiches, but not with cabbage.
It folds over well but stays firm to hold all the stuffing in–mostly! 🙂
I will have to give it a try.

***********Thought I would reblog since it is similar to my other vegan fast food. 🙂
Put it on FB for my gluten free friends. I know they will love it.
One of my favs.
