Tuna & Cannellini Bean Lettuce Wraps

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:

1. Put the tuna and beans in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
2. Toss gently to combine. Don't over-mix.
3. 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.
