Why You’ll Love This

These tuna salad lettuce wraps are the ultimate low-calorie lunch — only 260 calories but 28g of protein. No cooking required, and the crunch from the lettuce makes it incredibly satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (150g) tuna in water, drained
  • 4 large butter lettuce leaves
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice from ½ lemon
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt, pepper, and fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Mix the dressing: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.

  2. Prepare the tuna: Flake the drained tuna into a bowl, add the dressing and toss to coat.

  3. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves carefully — they need to be sturdy enough to hold the filling.

  4. Assemble: Place a spoonful of tuna salad in each lettuce leaf, top with tomato pieces.

  5. Garnish with fresh dill and a crack of black pepper.
