Tuna Salad Ingredients
- 1 can Canned Tuna (drained)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 stalk Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 Green Onions (scallions, sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Wrap Ingredients
- 3-4 sheets Nori Sheets
Instructions
- Prepare Tuna Salad: Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to remove all excess liquid. In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, sliced green onions, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and stir gently to maintain a creamy yet chunky texture.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay the nori sheets flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the prepared tuna salad evenly across one side of each nori sheet. Carefully roll or fold the nori to encase the filling completely, ensuring the wrap holds its shape securely.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the nori wraps immediately to preserve the crisp texture of the seaweed. If preparing in advance, refrigerate the tuna salad separately and assemble the wraps just before eating to avoid sogginess.
Notes
- Ensure the tuna is well drained to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy.
- Use fresh lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.
- To keep the nori crisp, always assemble wraps right before serving.
- These wraps make an excellent low-calorie, no-cook lunch option.
- You can customize the salad by adding chopped cucumber or using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
