Ingredients

• 4 leaves Romaine lettuce, large leaves
• 2 cans Canned tuna in water, drained
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Dill pickles, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the tuna salad filling. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped red onion, chopped dill pickles, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. These will serve as the base for the tuna sub, replacing the bread.

Step 4

Place two lettuce leaves on a clean plate, slightly overlapping them to form a solid base.

Step 5

Scoop half of the tuna salad mixture onto the lettuce leaves, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Top the tuna salad with a few slices of cherry tomatoes and avocado.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves and tuna salad mixture for the second serving.

Step 8

Roll each lettuce wrap around the filling and secure with a toothpick, if necessary, for easy handling.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low carb classic tuna sub.
