Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) solid white tuna, drained
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup diced celery or bell peppers
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps
- 4 large butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Combine Tuna and Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, add the drained tuna and diced celery or bell peppers. Gently break up the tuna while mixing it with the vegetables.
- Add Creamy Ingredients: Add the mashed avocado, plain Greek yogurt, and fresh lemon juice to the tuna mixture. Stir until the ingredients are just combined, ensuring a creamy and evenly mixed salad.
- Season the Salad: Taste the tuna salad and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference, mixing briefly to incorporate the seasoning.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the tuna avocado mixture into the center of each large butter lettuce leaf. Wrap them up carefully like little parcels to hold the filling securely and serve immediately for a fresh, crunchy bite.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess with extra protein; you can substitute with mayo if preferred.
- Butter lettuce leaves are ideal for wrapping due to their size and softness but iceberg lettuce can also work.
- Try adding chopped herbs like dill or parsley for added freshness.
- This salad can be served on toast or crackers as an alternative to lettuce wraps.
- Store leftover salad separately from lettuce leaves to prevent sogginess.
