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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat for Second Wrap: Follow the same layering and rolling steps with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
- 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.
