Flavorful Spinach & Feta Lettuce Wrap

There’s something incredibly refreshing about a crisp lettuce wrap that’s packed with bold flavors. This Spinach & Feta Lettuce Wrap is a Mediterranean-inspired delight that combines creamy feta, sautéed spinach, and a touch of garlic, all wrapped in crunchy, fresh lettuce leaves. It’s light, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.

I first made these wraps on a hot summer day when I was craving something fresh but still hearty enough to be a meal. The combination of the warm, garlicky spinach and the cool, briny feta was an instant winner. My husband, who usually needs a “real meal,” was surprised by how filling they were—and let’s just say, they didn’t last long on the table.

What makes these lettuce wraps special is the contrast in textures and flavors. The crisp lettuce provides the perfect vessel for the creamy, salty feta and the tender spinach, while a squeeze of lemon brightens up every bite. Plus, they’re quick to make and require just a handful of ingredients.

Whether you’re looking for a light lunch, a healthy snack, or a fun appetizer, these wraps deliver big on flavor while keeping things fresh and nutritious. So let’s get started!

What You Need for Spinach & Feta Lettuce Wraps

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Spinach & Feta Lettuce Wraps

  1. Sauté the Spinach: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Cook & Season: Add the chopped spinach, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Tips for the Best Lettuce Wraps

  • Use sturdy lettuce leaves like Romaine or Butter Lettuce so they hold the filling well.
  • Don’t overfill! Too much filling can make them hard to eat.
  • Make it a meal by adding grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture—lettuce can wilt if left too long.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Use kale instead of spinach for a heartier texture.
  • Swap feta for goat cheese for a creamier bite.
  • Add sliced olives or cucumbers for more Mediterranean flavors.
  • Try hummus as a spread for an extra layer of flavor.

Make a Healthier Version

This recipe is already healthy, but you can tweak it further:

  • Use reduced-fat feta to lower the fat content.
  • Add extra veggies like shredded carrots or bell peppers for more fiber.
  • Swap olive oil for avocado oil for a different healthy fat profile.
