How about these nifty wraps with avocado mayo as a great low-carb, high-protein lunch.
Ingredients
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.

I love a good lettuce wrap!
Looks delightful and healthy!
I really want to try that recipe. It looks great.
Looks delicious. Years ago we used to put chicken and a small amount of salad in the lettuce leaf, was a good taste.
Simple meals are often the best.
Love those daffodils.
That is so healthy
Good morning Jan :)
What a brilliant idea. A lettuce wrap makes a change from an ordinary salad. I prefer Iceburg lettuce and will give it a try.Thank you Jan for the recipe.
All the best

Looks yummy, I would like one for lunch today.
Take care, have a great day!
That's a great idea for a healthy lunch.
Lettuce wraps are so moreish.
if you take chicken instead of the tuna that sounds really good :) Have a great week!
That would be a nice lunch in the sunroom when the weather is warmer
I know, I am picky, I don't like lettuce. If I am making a salad I prefer spinach instead, course I could do spinach wraps.
SO yummy looking! You know that I've copied the recipe, right? :)
I made something similar for my Friday lunch. :-)

Nice recipe for my tomorrow’s lunch I just bought a can of tuna and low fat mayonnaise.
Wraps are an excellent idea to avoid carbohydrates which, lately, are being used for low-carb diets.
Lettuce wraps makes a yummy lunch or even dinner. :) Hope your week is going well.
Good idea but I'd leave the avocado out. Just don't like it.
I love everything with tuna - delicious!
