Quick Summary

These wraps replace heavy bread with crisp butter lettuce, pairing protein-rich tuna with fresh herbs, celery, and a touch of Dijon mustard for a clean, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

2 cans (5oz each) pole-caught tuna
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
1 stalk celery, finely diced
2 tbsp red onion, minced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 large Butter or Romaine lettuce leaves
1/4 cup cucumber, diced

Method

1. Drain the tuna thoroughly. Place it into a medium mixing bowl and flake with a fork.
2. Add the Greek yogurt, mustard, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
3. Fold in the diced celery, red onion, cucumber, and fresh parsley. Season to taste.
4. Lay the lettuce leaves flat. Scoop a generous portion into each leaf and fold to serve.

Stewart's Secret: Chill your tuna mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the lemon and herbs to fully permeate the tuna, resulting in a deeper, more rounded flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, but store the tuna mixture and the lettuce separately to keep the leaves crisp.

What is the best type of lettuce?

Butter lettuce (Bibb) is ideal for its soft, cup-like shape, but Romaine provides a nice crunch.

Is this recipe dairy-free?

Simply swap the Greek yogurt for mashed avocado to maintain creaminess without the dairy.
