Ingredients

• 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna, packed in water
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Celery, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon Red onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (large and intact)
• 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Open the cans of tuna and drain the water completely.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, diced red onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Wash the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. These will serve as your 'hoagie buns.'

Step 4

Lay out two lettuce leaves per hoagie to create a sturdy base for each wrap.

Step 5

Evenly divide the tuna mixture among the three lettuce wraps, spooning it onto the center of the leaves.

Step 6

Top the tuna mixture with slices of tomato, cucumber, and avocado for added freshness and texture.

Step 7

Carefully fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to create a wrap. If needed, secure the hoagie with toothpicks to keep it together.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb tuna hoagie!
