Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps

Today I’m bringing you a quick and easy, low carb, gluten free, and all around healthy lunch idea: Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps!

Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps - A quick and healthy lunch! #glutenfree

Last week I asked my buddies on my Facebook page what they would like to see for today’s recipe. I expected answers like cookies, queso dip, cheese fries, or some other sweet or decadent treat. To my surprise, the requests were for a healthy snack! I do normally try to make my recipes somewhat healthy around here, but it seems like the cheesy or chocolatey recipes always do the best. I’m certainly happy to oblige and make more healthy recipes! This one is actually a lunch, but it could be a snack too. Any time is the right time for tuna salad lettuce wraps if you ask me.

These tasty, low-carb, gluten-free sandwich alternatives only take about 10 minutes to make. The romaine lettuce leaves are really sturdy and just right for holding everything together. Who needs bread when you can wrap your creamy tuna salad in crispy lettuce?

I wrote this recipe to serve one because I often eat lunch on my own, but of course it’s really easy to scale to serve as many as you need.  It also makes a great dinner with baked fries. Enjoy :)

    I love tuna salad, and after the baby, I’m going to need to start watching my calories…boo hoo! But this makes me happy if I can eat things like this! I’ve included it in my round up.

    These photos are wonderful Andi! I love tuna salad love this idea to serve them in lettuce wraps. I especially love that the serving is for one. I often eat lunch alone on weekdays too so this is perfect :)

      Wow, thank you, Kelly! I have eaten an obscene number of frozen burritos for lunch over the past 10 years, but this is definitely a healthier option :)

      Thank you, Gretchen! I forget about tuna salad too, or I think it’s going to be boring. When I do finally make it, I’m always like, “Oh yeah! I love tuna salad!” I definitely like mine on the tangy side with lots of mustard and relish. I hope you like this version too! Thanks so much for your visit :)
