Ingredients
  

2 cans (5 oz each) tuna packed in water, thoroughly drained

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain for a mild flavor or a flavored option for something unique)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for a tangy kick

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten flavors

1/2 cup diced cucumber for crunch

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper for sweetness

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion for a bit of bite

1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness

Salt and black pepper to taste

8 large leaves of romaine or butter lettuce, washed and dried

Optional toppings: Sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, or sliced olives for added flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thoroughly drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix everything together until well combined and creamy, ensuring the tuna is evenly coated.

    Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the diced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped parsley. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix well so that all the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the tuna.

      Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface or a serving platter, lay out the lettuce leaves flat. Spoon a generous portion of the tuna salad mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, allowing enough space for folding.

        Add Optional Toppings: Enhance your wraps by adding any desired toppings, such as creamy slices of avocado, vibrant cherry tomato halves, or briny olives over the tuna mixture for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.

          Wrap & Serve: Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the tuna filling. You can either eat them as open-faced wraps or wrap them up fully like a burrito for an easy-to-hold meal.

            Store Any Leftovers: If there’s any tuna salad leftover, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for a maximum of 2 days.
