Nectarines are all over the place now and we love them! This has become a lunchtime staple for anyone who's tried it partly because it's so easy but mostly because it's so GOOD! We prefer it with napa cabbage as the wrap. It's subtle and adds an extra layer of freshness to the wrap. But you could try collard greens or romaine as well. And double the satay recipe . It's addictive!
