Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."-Adelle Davis

I often make tuna salad and lay it on a slice of bread, like an open faced sandwich. Trying to stay away from too many carbs I thought of this. You could pretty much put anything in the tuna salad, or even leave it plain. The tuna over the lettuce was refreshing and healthy, and very easy!


1 can of tuna
1/8 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/8 cup orange bell pepper, finely chopped
1 stick of celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
1 dash of white or apple cider vinegar (options)
1/2 tomato chopped
1/2 avocado sliced 
romaine lettuce cups

Mix tuna, bell peppers, celery, mayonnaise, vinegar, and tomato

Lay slices of avocado on lettuce and top with tuna salad mixture.

*You could easily make extra tuna and store for lunch the next day. Also, instead of mixing all the ingredients together, you can make the tuna with only mayonnaise and then chop the lettuce and add the ingredients; creating more of a salad. Then just top with tuna mix.

*If you don't like mayonnaise or are REALLY watching your figure, use mustard and vinegar or salsa. Both are great!
