Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Canned tuna in water
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 medium Celery stalks
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 large Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly by pressing the lid down to squeeze out any excess water. Transfer the tuna to a large mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl with the tuna. Mix well with a fork, breaking up the tuna into smaller pieces as you go to ensure even distribution of the mayonnaise and mustard.
Finely chop the celery stalks and red onion. Add these vegetables to the tuna mixture and stir until combined.
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the salad along with the salt and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate the flavors evenly throughout the mixture.
Taste the tuna salad and adjust seasoning if necessary — you can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
For serving, spoon the keto tuna mayonnaise into the large lettuce leaves to make wraps. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
