½ Tsp Maldon Sea Salt Flakes
2 ½ Tbsp Olive Oil
½ Tsp Pepper
2 Cloves of Garlic
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbsp Tahini or Hummus (Optional)

Directions:
The night before:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Chop the bell peppers into 1-inch strips. Place the strips on a baking tray. Sprinkle with the Maldon Sea Salt Flakes and 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Mix with your hands. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
2. Place the tray in the middle rack of your oven. Roast for 50 minutes flipping halfway. Cook until wrinkly and slightly burnt. Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
3. While it cools, mince the cloves of garlic. In a jar combine the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic. Mix well.
4. Once completely cooled, place the bell pepper strips in the jar. Leave overnight.
To make the wraps:
1. Chop the olives into bite-sized pieces.
2. Fill 3 Romaine Hearts with the bell pepper strips and the olives. If you'd like, add tahini or hummus. Roll the butter lettuce leaves from one end to the other forming a wrap.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Staying cool and hydrated is the key to enjoying the warmer weather - especially if you’re spending a lot of time outside in the sun or partaking in recreational activities!
Here are some tips for keeping cool this Summer:
Drink more water! And avoid or reduce the amount of alcohol, sugary drinks, or caffeinated beverages you drink, which can contribute to dehydration. If you’re looking for a delicious summer drink, try one of these healthy, refreshing drinks or adding sugar-free fruit drops!
Plan outdoor exercise or activities for the morning, before noon, when the temperature is much cooler.
Eat foods that have a high water content, such as watermelon, cucumbers, celery, and peaches.
If you’re feeling a little hot, eating something spicy can make you sweat, which will actually help to cool you down faster!
Make sure you are spending time in shaded areas or if you can, step inside an air conditioned space to cool off.
Wear a hat and dress in light, loose, breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen.
Add electrolytes to your water - for ultimate hydration and replenishment!
