Refreshing, protein-packed, and perfectly light. These lettuce wraps offer the satisfying crunch of a sandwich without the heavy refined grains.
Enjoy a nutrient-dense lunch that comes together in ten minutes. We combine high-quality tuna, fresh herbs, and a light yogurt-based dressing, all nestled inside crisp butter lettuce leaves.
1. Prep the base
Place the drained tuna into a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to gently flake the fish into smaller pieces.
2. Create the dressing
Add the yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well combined.
3. Add the crunch
Fold in the diced celery, red onion, and parsley. Season lightly with black pepper to your taste.
4. Assemble
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Scoop two generous tablespoons of the tuna mixture into the center of each leaf and serve immediately.

Yes, but store the tuna mixture separately from the lettuce. Lettuce wilts quickly once it touches the dressing.
Avocado mash or a high-quality olive oil mayonnaise are excellent, heart-healthy alternatives.
Butter lettuce (Bibb or Boston) is soft and pliable. Romaine hearts are sturdier if you prefer a firm "taco-style" crunch.
