Tuna & White Bean Lettuce Wraps

A light, protein-packed lunch that requires no cutlery. Tinned tuna, creamy white beans, a squeeze of lemon, and fresh herbs, scooped into crisp lettuce leaves. It's fresh, crunchy, and satisfying. Perfect for eating with your hands.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 1 x 145g tin of tuna in spring water, drained
• ½ x 400g tin of cannellini or butter beans, rinsed and drained
• A squeeze of lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• A handful of fresh parsley or basil (optional, but lovely)
• Salt and pepper
• 4–6 large lettuce leaves (Little Gem or cos work well)

Method:

1. Flake the tuna into a bowl. Add the beans, lemon juice, olive oil, herbs, and seasoning.
2. Toss gently to combine.
3. Spoon the mixture into the lettuce leaves. Eat immediately, like little boats.

Why it's gut-friendly: Tuna provides lean protein and omega-3s. White beans are a prebiotic fibre source. Lettuce adds hydration and crunch. Olive oil is anti-inflammatory.
