TIPS
Here are some tips for Spicy Sriracha Tuna Salad Lettuce Wrap:
- Drain the tuna thoroughly: Drain the tuna thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the lettuce soggy.
- Choose crisp lettuce varieties: Choose crisp lettuce varieties such as romaine, butter lettuce or iceberg for the best texture.
- Adjust the spice level: Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha based on your heat preference.
- For extra crunch: Add chopped cucumbers, celery, or shredded carrots to the tuna mixture.
VARIATIONS
- Creamier Texture: Replace Greek yoghurt with avocado mash or mayonnaise for a richer taste.
- Extra Protein: Add a hard-boiled egg or a sprinkle of hemp seeds for an additional protein boost.
- Crunchy Additions: Topping with chopped nuts, bell peppers or red onions for extra texture.
- Asian-Inspired: Mix in a dash of sesame oil and chopped scallions for an umami twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Storage: Store any leftover tuna salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Meal Prep: Prepare the tuna salad ahead of time, but store it separately from the lettuce to maintain freshness.
- Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture of tuna salad changes when frozen.
