Ingredients

  • 2 (6-oz) cans tuna drained*
  • ½ large avocado
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice to taste
  • 1 Tbsp stone ground mustard
  • ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup celery finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup dill pickles finely chopped
  • 3 Tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 8 leaves Butter Lettuce or “living lettuce for serving

Instructions

  • Add the avocado and lemon juice to a mixing bowl and mash it together until creamy.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the tuna salad to the mixing bowl and stir well until combined.
  • Taste the salad for flavor and add sea salt, lemon juice, and/or mustard to taste.
  • Scoop the tuna salad into the center of butter leaf lettuce (for me, this recipe makes 8 small lettuce wraps), and enjoy!

Notes

*I use wild-caught albacore tuna. You can use tuna stored in water or tuna stored in oil.
