Ingredients
  

2 cans (5 oz each) tuna packed in water, well drained

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or your favorite flavor)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

8 large leaves of romaine or butter lettuce

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, or pitted olives

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the drained tuna. Incorporate the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and creamy.

    Add Veggies: Gently fold in the diced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped parsley. Mix well and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the tuna mixture.

      Assemble the Wraps: Take each lettuce leaf and place it flat on a clean surface or serving platter. Spoon a generous portion of the tuna salad mixture into the center of each leaf, ensuring there is enough filling for a satisfying wrap.

        Add Optional Toppings: Enhance the flavor and nutrition of your wraps by adding sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, or a few olives on top of the tuna mixture, if desired.

          Wrap & Serve: Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling to create a wrap. Enjoy them as they are, or gently roll them up like a burrito for a mess-free eating experience!

            Store Any Leftovers: If you have any leftover tuna salad, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
