Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, well drained

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for a creamier texture)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for a tangy kick

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for brightness

1/4 cup diced celery for crunch

1/4 cup diced red onion for flavor

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for freshness

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce) for wrapping

Optional toppings: thinly sliced radishes, halved cherry tomatoes, or cucumber slices for added color and flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, peeled and pitted avocado, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice.

    Mash and Combine: Using a fork, gently mash the avocado into the tuna mixture, blending until smooth and creamy. Ensure the ingredients are well combined without any large chunks remaining.

      Incorporate Additional Ingredients: Stir in the diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped parsley or cilantro. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

        Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: On a large serving platter, arrange the lettuce leaves in a single layer. Spoon a generous portion of the avocado tuna salad into the center of each leaf.

          Add Colorful Toppings: To enhance the dish, add optional toppings such as thinly sliced radishes, halved cherry tomatoes, or fresh cucumber slices on top of the tuna salad.

            Wrap and Serve: Carefully fold the sides of each lettuce leaf over the filling to create a wrap. You can serve them immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour for a cool, refreshing snack or light meal.
