Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) of tuna, drained

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 large lettuce leaves (e.g., Romaine or Butter lettuce)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, celery, red bell pepper, and fresh dill or parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Make the Lemon Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and bring to a warm temperature. Add the juice and zest of the remaining lemon and let it simmer lightly for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken. Remove from heat.

      Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the large lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Spoon a generous amount of the tuna mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.

        Drizzle with Glaze: Once all the wraps are filled, drizzle the lemon glaze over each tuna wrap for a burst of zesty flavor.

          Garnish and Serve: Garnish with additional lemon slices and fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately for a fresh, healthy appetizer or lunch option.
