These Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps are a fresh, quick, and healthy meal option perfect for a light lunch or appetizer. Combining protein-packed tuna with crisp vegetables and a tangy dressing, they are served wrapped in crunchy Romaine or butter lettuce leaves for a low-carb, refreshing bite.

Ingredients

Tuna Salad

  • 2 cans (5 ounces each) tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 ribs celery, finely diced
  • 1 English cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

To Serve

  • 8 to 10 leaves of Romaine lettuce or butter lettuce
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced green onions, chopped parsley, dill, or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, finely diced celery, finely diced cucumber, finely diced shallot, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: Spoon the prepared tuna salad evenly into each Romaine or butter lettuce leaf, creating individual wraps.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Top the filled lettuce leaves with your choice of optional toppings such as sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or extra herbs like parsley, dill, or cilantro. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp freshness.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • You can add chopped bell pepper for extra crunch and color.
  • The lettuce leaves work best if fresh and crisp; wash and pat dry thoroughly before use.
  • Optional toppings add flavor and visual appeal but can be omitted if preferred.
  • These wraps are best eaten fresh but can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
