Description

These Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps with Lemon Dill Black Pepper Mayo offer a fresh and flavorful low-carb lunch option. Combining flaky tuna with crisp celery, red onion, and fragrant dill, all brought together by a zesty lemon-mayo dressing, they are light yet satisfying. Wrapped in crunchy butter or romaine lettuce leaves and optionally topped with cucumber, avocado, or cherry tomatoes, these wraps are perfect for a quick, no-cook meal or easy meal prep.

Ingredients

Tuna Salad

  • 2 (5 oz) cans tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Lemon Dill Black Pepper Mayo Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Wraps and Toppings

  • 8 large butter or romaine lettuce leaves
  • Optional: sliced cucumber, avocado, or cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, finely chopped celery, red onion, and fresh dill. Mix these ingredients well to distribute flavors evenly.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the lemon dill mayo dressing over the tuna mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the prepared tuna salad evenly into the center of each lettuce leaf, spreading it out to create a neat filling.
  5. Add Optional Toppings and Serve: If you like, top each wrap with sliced cucumber, avocado, or cherry tomatoes for extra texture and flavor. Fold or roll the lettuce leaves into wraps and serve immediately for the best freshness.

Notes

  • For a lighter variation, substitute some or all of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • These wraps are an excellent low-carb lunch and ideal for meal prep; store the tuna mixture and lettuce leaves separately and assemble when ready to eat to maintain crispness.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on your preference, such as adding sliced radishes or shredded carrots for extra crunch.
