Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna packed in water
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 medium Celery stalk
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tuna. Mash the avocado and tuna together with a fork until well combined.
Dice the celery stalk finely and add it to the tuna mash. Similarly, finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixture.
Add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Lay them flat and spoon an even amount of the tuna mixture onto each leaf.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place a couple of halves on top of the tuna mixture on each lettuce leaf.
Carefully roll or fold each lettuce leaf around the tuna and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
