Instructions

In a mixing bowl, prepare the tuna salad: Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, black pepper, and salt. Stir in the celery and red onion. Add the drained tuna and gently mix until well coated, breaking up large chunks.
Prepare the wraps: Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly into the center of each lettuce leaf. Fold or roll the leaves into wraps and arrange on a serving platter.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with extra dill or lemon wedges if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For added texture, mix in chopped cucumber, pickles, or capers.
These wraps can be prepared ahead of time by storing the tuna salad separately and assembling right before serving.
To make it lighter, swap part of the mayo for plain Greek yogurt.
