Description
These tuna lettuce wraps are a quick and easy lunch, made with tuna salad, chopped veggies and fresh lettuce leaves! They take just 20 minutes to make and can easily be prepped in advance to save you time on busy weekdays.
Ingredients
- 1 batch of tuna salad without mayo
- 1/2 cup diced red pepper
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 2–3 dill pickles, thinly sliced
- 8–10 Boston lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- Optional garnishes:
- chopped fresh parsley or dill
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Make the tuna salad according to the recipe. Stir in the chopped red pepper and cucumber. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Gently wash and dry the lettuce leaves and arrange them in a single layer on a serving platter or plates.
- Add a pickle slice to each piece of lettuce. Place 2 spoonfuls of the tuna mixture on top of the pickle slice. You should have enough tuna salad for about 8-10 lettuce wraps.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- When washing and drying the lettuce leaves, be gentle. They can tear and bruise easily.
- Dice your veggies into small pieces so they mix in well with the tuna and fit neatly in the lettuce wraps.
- Make sure the canned tuna is well drained before making your tuna salad. Otherwise, your lettuce wraps will end up soggy.
- Be sure to check out the other sections above the recipe card for more detailed advice and suggestions for making this recipe.
