  • 1 celery stalk (finely chopped)
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)

How to Make Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps

Prep Your Ingredients

Before you start mixing, take a few minutes to prep everything. Chop your celery and green onions into fine pieces, and make sure your lettuce leaves are clean and dry. The key to a great wrap is crisp, fresh lettuce.

Pro tip: Use a salad spinner to dry your lettuce leaves thoroughly. Wet lettuce can make your wraps soggy, and nobody wants that.

Mix the Tuna Salad

In a medium-sized bowl, combine your drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Give it a good stir until everything is well-blended.

Next, toss in your celery and green onions. Mix again, ensuring every bite has a pop of crunch and flavor. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, tasting as you go. Remember, you can always adjust the seasoning later.

Serving Suggestions

These wraps are incredibly versatile. Here’s how you can pair them:

• As a Light Meal: Enjoy them solo with a side of fresh fruit or a cup of soup.
• For a Crowd: Serve them on a platter for parties or potlucks. They’re easy to pick up and eat, making them a hit with guests.
• On the Go: Wrap them tightly in parchment paper for a mess-free, portable meal.
