Light and refreshing lettuce cups filled with creamy tuna salad—perfect for a quick low-carb meal that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Tuna Salad
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup celery, diced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Assembly
- Large lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine)
Instructions
- Prepare Tuna Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, diced celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
- Assemble Lettuce Cups: Lay out the large lettuce leaves on a serving plate. Spoon the prepared tuna salad mixture evenly into the center of each leaf, creating individual cups.
- Serve: Serve the tuna salad lettuce cups immediately as a light lunch or snack. They can be enjoyed fresh without additional cooking.
Notes
- Add chopped pickles or a teaspoon of mustard to the tuna salad for an extra tangy flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to reduce fat and add a tangy twist.
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top before serving.
- These lettuce cups can be made ahead but are best eaten fresh to keep the lettuce crisp.
