This summer wrap is healthy, quick and easy to prepare snack. The tasteful and creamy tuna salad rolled in a crispy lettuce leaf is a great appetizer for sunny days!
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.
