How about these nifty wraps with avocado mayo as a great low-carb, high-protein lunch.
They're packed with omega-3-rich tuna while also being low in salt.
Ingredients
Serves Two
2 drops oil, for brushing
2 x 140g fresh tuna fillets, defrosted
(although you can use canned tuna)
1 ripe avocado
½ tsp English mustard powder
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp capers
8 romaine lettuce leaves
(although you can use iceberg or butterhead)
16 cherry tomatoes, preferably on the vine, halved
Instructions
1. Brush the tuna with a little oil. Heat a non-stick pan, add the tuna and cook for 1 min each side, or a min or so longer for a thicker fillet. Transfer to a plate to rest.
2. Halve and stone the avocado and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the mustard powder and vinegar, then mash well so that the mixture is smooth like mayonnaise. Stir in the capers. Spoon into two small dishes and put on serving plates with the lettuce leaves, and tomatoes.
3. Slice the tuna (it should be slightly pink inside) and arrange on the plates. Spoon some ‘mayo’ on the lettuce leaves and top with tuna and cherry tomatoes and a few extra capers. To eat, roll up into little wraps.

We are tuna lovers here, this is a nice way to eat it!
beautiful tulips!! i often use lettuce instead of bread when i am avvoiding bread...which is not too often!!
I love ❤️ salmon, but I don't like tuna. The photos of the wrap and the flowers are gorgeous, Jan.
I hope you have a great week ahead. 💓
That looks like a great choice
Lettuce wraps are a great way to hold a filling in place of bread. And I do like tuna!
Good solution and with lots of omega 3!
Thank you Jan!!
I'll make it with Iceberg, Jan. Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice new week.
Looks very nice and tasty, Jan. Years ago we used to have similar in a lettuce leaf.
That looks great, and healthy too!!! Thanks Jan! Have a beautiful start to the week. hugs Elke
That looks really tasty and such a good idea for a wrap if you're trying to avoid bread or carbs.
The tuna lettuce wrap looks delicious, great recipe idea.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy week.
Looks like a perfect low carb meal!
Anything with tuna works for me. Lettuce wrapped tuna is tasty, and what a lovely spring looking photo it creates too. Happy new week to you Jan.
Yum!
Un buen desayuno. Gracias Jan.
Buena semana para todos.
Un abrazo.
I love lettuce wraps. This one looks very tasty.
that looks good. I have never used fresh tuna except to grill (the can or pkt tuna is a lot cheaper)

Those look really good. I like lettuce wraps!
Looks to be both low carb and tasty. Have an excellent week, Jan.
Hello Jan,
That looks delicious..
Very special and a party to eat this.
My wife sometimes makes filling chicory leaves with pieces of leek and ham. Very tasty too!!
Many greetings,
Marco
A lovely suggestion!-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
Not a tuna fan but a chicken lettuce wrap would be good.
I had something very similar for lunch today. :-)
Have a blessed new week,
Carla
I'll have to try this..looks yummy and I never have any bread..(:
Using lettuce as the "wrap" part of the sandwich is a great idea!
I always eat tuna on salad once a week. It's very tasty.
I might have to add a little mayo! lol
Great lunch idea.
Lovely and healthy! Thank you Jan and all the best :) Denise
I do like lettuce wraps with ham :)
