Ingredients
 
 

salad wrap

  • 100 grams salad lollo rosso or lollo biondo
  • 150 grams tuna
  • ½ shallot finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon curry
  • ½ teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Dip

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 teaspoons dried herbs
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt coarse

Notes

  • Because you should be able to roll the lettuce iceberg lettuce is not so suitable for this snack. Ordinary lettuce can be used and it rolls great but is a bit less festive. When you choose a Lollo Biondo or a Lollo Rosso lettuce to use (make sure it has broad leaves ), the bite looks awfully nice, when it is presented on a serving platter.
  • If you can choose between Lollo Biondo and Lollo Rosso, choose the Lollo Rosso variety. Not only because it gots a beautiful red color which looks great on your buffet table, but there is a second reason. Green lettuce in general can get brown edges. Lollo rosso with its beautiful red color won't turn in brown (at least you do not see it). As a result, it remains beautiful!
  • I chose to fill the leaves with a tuna salad, but it is also delicious when you fill the lettuce with a salmon salad or egg salad. Or maybe all three. So your guests got something to choose from.

Instructions
 

Salad wrap

  • Carefully remove the lettuce leaves and wash them and dry them well. If you do not prepare the dish immediately, keep the lettuce in the fridge covered with a damp paper towel until use.
  • Drain the tuna and put it in a bowl.
  • Mash the tuna with a fork.
  • Add the shallot, mayonnaise, curry, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything well.
  • Allow marinating for at least 1 hour, covered in the refrigerator.
  • Just before use, you put a salad leaf in front of you.
  • Spoon ½ tablespoon of tuna salad on the bottom (in the middle) of the lettuce leaf and roll it up.
  • Place the seam down on the serving platter.

Dip

  • Mix the olive oil with the herbs and let it taste for at least 3 hours (room temperature).
  • Sprinkle just before you serve the sea salt on the dip and mix well again.
