Tuna & Cannellini Bean Lettuce Wraps
Share
This is what I make when I want something light, fresh, and protein-packed that doesn't require a fork. Tinned tuna, cannellini beans, lemon, and parsley, scooped into crisp lettuce leaves. It's lunch that feels like finger food.
Ingredients (Serves 1):
- 1 x 145g tin of tuna in spring water, drained
- ½ x 400g tin of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 4–6 large lettuce leaves (cos or Little Gem work well)
Method:
- Put the tuna and beans in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Toss gently to combine. Don't over-mix.
- Spoon the mixture into the lettuce leaves. Eat with your hands.
Why it's gut-friendly: Tuna provides lean protein and omega-3s. Cannellini beans are packed with fibre. Lemon and parsley are digestive aids. Lettuce adds crunch and hydration.
