Ingredients
4 large lettuce cups (romaine or butter lettuce)
2 cans water-packed tuna, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons diced celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, ensuring they are crisp and intact.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, pickles, and red onion.
Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Spoon the tuna mixture into each lettuce cup, mounding gently.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and high-protein meal.
Notes
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to suit your taste.
For extra protein, add a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed into the tuna mixture.
Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
