Tuna Salad
- 1 can (5 ounces) tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

For Wrapping
- Lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce, for wrapping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, and red onion. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if desired. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble the Wraps: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves carefully, selecting larger leaves for easier handling. Place a generous spoonful of the prepared tuna salad in the center of each leaf.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of each lettuce leaf over the filling and roll it up to form a wrap. Serve immediately for a fresh and tasty meal experience.
