Ingredients
- 1 can of tuna (in water or oil, drained)
- 6 large lettuce leaves (romaine, butter, or iceberg)
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs (parsley or dill)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayo), Dijon mustard, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and chopped red onion. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Lettuce Leaves:
Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Lay them flat on a clean surface.
- Assemble the Wraps:
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the center of each lettuce leaf. Add any optional toppings like avocado slices or cherry tomatoes.
- Wrap and Serve:
Fold or roll the lettuce leaves around the filling. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sriracha to the tuna mixture.
- Meal prep tip: Store the tuna mixture and lettuce separately to keep the leaves crisp. Assemble just before eating.
- Romaine or butter lettuce works best for wrapping because of its sturdy leaves.
- Swap Greek yogurt for mayo if you prefer a creamier texture.
- Optional extras: Try adding sliced olives or a sprinkle of feta cheese for more flavor!
