Ingredients

For the mayo free tuna salad:

  • ½ cup dairy-free sour cream
  • 1 ½ tablespoons whole grain dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cane sugar (or granulated sugar)
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cans albacore flaked white tuna (packed in water) drained
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon capers drained
  • ½ cup diced red pepper
  • ½ cup diced cucumber

For the wraps:

  • 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:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the sour cream, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Add the tuna, celery, red onion, capers, red pepper and cucumber. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate while you prep the lettuce.

Assemble the wraps:

  • 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

  1. When washing and drying the lettuce leaves, be gentle. They can tear and bruise easily.
  2. Dice your veggies into small pieces so they mix in well with the tuna and fit neatly in the lettuce wraps.
  3. Make sure the canned tuna is well drained before making your tuna salad. Otherwise, your lettuce wraps will end up soggy.
