Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna, packed in water
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Celery, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon Red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (large and intact)
- 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, thinly sliced
Instructions
Open the cans of tuna and drain the water completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, diced red onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Wash the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. These will serve as your 'hoagie buns.'
Lay out two lettuce leaves per hoagie to create a sturdy base for each wrap.
Evenly divide the tuna mixture among the three lettuce wraps, spooning it onto the center of the leaves.
Top the tuna mixture with slices of tomato, cucumber, and avocado for added freshness and texture.
Carefully fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to create a wrap. If needed, secure the hoagie with toothpicks to keep it together.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb tuna hoagie!
