Notes
Storage
- This tuna lettuce wrap is best enjoyed fresh or within 1 day of making. If you have leftovers, refrigerate the lettuce and tuna salad in separate air-tight containers for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh lettuce! Wilted lettuce loses its shape.
- Use hearty leaves to withstand the weight of the tuna salad.
- Serve immediately or chill. Our tuna salad contains mayo, which can spoil quickly. Chill until until ready to serve.
- Make the chicken salad ahead of time for easy prep. Just scoop the tuna salad on top and serve when ready.
