Nori Wraps with Paleo Tuna Salad Recipe

Introduction

Nori Wraps with Paleo Tuna Salad offer a fresh, light, and nutritious meal that’s perfect for lunch or a quick dinner. These wraps combine creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and a flavorful tuna salad all wrapped in crispy seaweed sheets.

Ingredients

• 1 can of tuna in water, drained
• 1.5 tablespoons paleo mayonnaise
• 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
• 2 small English cucumbers, cut into matchsticks
• 4 butter lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons alfalfa sprouts
• 2 seaweed sheets
• 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (for dipping)
• 1 tablespoon paleo Sriracha (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the drained tuna with paleo mayonnaise, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Step 2: Lay a seaweed sheet flat in front of you. In a straight line, layer one butter lettuce leaf, some cucumber matchsticks, slices of avocado, alfalfa sprouts, a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds, and finally the tuna mixture.
3. Step 3: Roll the seaweed sheet away from you tightly around the filling to form a wrap. Repeat this process with the second seaweed sheet and remaining ingredients.
4. Step 4: Serve the nori wraps with coconut aminos and paleo Sriracha on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding thin carrot strips or bell pepper for extra crunch and color.
• Use a bamboo sushi mat to help roll the nori tightly if you find it tricky by hand.
• Substitute paleo mayonnaise with mashed avocado for a lighter version.

Storage

Store any leftover tuna salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the nori wraps fresh before serving to prevent the seaweed from becoming soggy. If prepared, wraps can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and kept cool for a few hours but are best enjoyed immediately.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular mayonnaise instead of paleo mayonnaise?

Yes, regular mayonnaise works fine, but paleo mayonnaise keeps the recipe aligned with paleo dietary preferences.

What if I can’t find alfalfa sprouts?

You can substitute with any fresh sprouts or omit them entirely; the wraps will still be delicious with the other fresh vegetables.

Tuna Salad

• 1 can of tuna in water, drained
• 1.5 tablespoons paleo mayonnaise
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Wrap Fillings

• 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
• 2 small English cucumbers, cut into matchsticks
• 4 butter lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons alfalfa sprouts
• 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds

Wraps & Dips

• 2 seaweed sheets (Nori sheets)
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, for dipping
• 1 tablespoon paleo Sriracha, for dipping

Instructions

1. Prepare Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna with paleo mayonnaise. Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Mix well until evenly combined.
2. Lay Out the Nori Sheets: Place one seaweed sheet flat on your working surface with the rough side facing up, ready to assemble the wrap.
3. Layer Ingredients: Starting in a straight line near the edge closest to you, arrange a butter lettuce leaf, then add cucumber matchsticks, thin avocado slices, alfalfa sprouts, and sprinkle roasted sesame seeds. Finally, spoon the tuna salad mixture atop these layers.
4. Roll the Wrap: Carefully roll the seaweed sheet away from you, encasing the ingredients tightly in the nori to form a neat wrap. Use gentle pressure to avoid tearing the sheet.
5. Repeat for Second Wrap: Follow the same layering and rolling steps with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
6. Serve: Cut the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately with coconut aminos and paleo Sriracha on the side for dipping.

Notes

• Use fresh seaweed sheets to prevent cracking while rolling.
• Feel free to add other Paleo-friendly vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra crunch.
• For a spicier kick, mix some paleo Sriracha directly into the tuna salad.
• These wraps are best eaten fresh to keep the seaweed crisp.
• Substitute paleo mayonnaise with mashed avocado for a lighter option.
