Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (approximately 5 oz each) canned tuna
- 1 large avocado
- 1 celery stalk
- 2 green onion
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large leaves butter lettuce leaves
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 small carrot
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the mixing bowl. Mash it with a fork until it's well blended with the tuna.
Finely chop the celery stalk and green onions, and add them to the bowl with the tuna and avocado mixture.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice directly into the bowl, being careful to catch any seeds.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, and then slice them into thin matchsticks.
Lay the butter lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface.
Spoon a generous portion of the tuna mixture onto each lettuce leaf, followed by a few cucumber and carrot sticks.
Roll up each leaf gently but firmly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a neat roll.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until you're ready to enjoy.
