Ingredients
  

1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, well-drained

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for a creamier texture)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 small celery stalk, finely chopped for crunch

2 green onions, finely chopped for flavor

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce) for wrapping

Optional: Sliced tomatoes and cucumbers for garnish and added freshness

Optional: Whole grain wraps or tortillas for a heartier option

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocado and mash it with a fork until it reaches a creamy consistency.

    Add the well-drained tuna to the bowl, and gently fold it into the mashed avocado, taking care not to completely break down the tuna for texture.

      To the tuna and avocado mixture, stir in the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and chopped dill. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

        Incorporate the finely chopped celery and green onions into the salad, and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

          Place the large lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface. If using whole grain wraps or tortillas, lay them out on a clean workspace and spread a small amount of the creamy tuna mixture onto each one.

            Spoon a generous portion of the avocado tuna salad into the center of each lettuce leaf or wrap, ensuring not to overfill to prevent spillage.

              For an extra burst of flavor and crunch, add sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on top of the tuna salad before wrapping.

                Carefully roll up the lettuce leaves or wraps, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside. Use a toothpick to hold them together if necessary.

                  Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or wrap them in parchment paper for a grab-and-go lunch option that can be refrigerated for later enjoyment.
