Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans tuna in water drained (5 oz / 140 g each)
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed (15 oz / 425 g)
  • 1/3 cup celery finely chopped (40 g)
  • 1/3 cup scallions or green onions finely sliced (30 g)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 120 ml
  • 5 tbsp mayonnaise 75 ml
  • 1/4 cup capers rinsed and drained (40 g)
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning 14 g
  • 2 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 37 ml
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 2 g
  • 16 butter lettuce leaves about 4 oz / 115 g

Method
 

  1. Place the rinsed chickpeas in a mixing bowl and gently mash them with a fork until partially broken but still slightly chunky.
  2. Add the drained tuna and lightly flake it into the chickpeas so the mixture becomes evenly distributed.
  3. Stir in the chopped celery and sliced scallions, letting the vegetables add crunch and fresh aroma.
  4. In the same bowl, add Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, and everything bagel seasoning.
  5. Mix thoroughly until the dressing coats the tuna and chickpeas, creating a creamy and cohesive salad.
  6. Sprinkle in ground black pepper and stir again, tasting the mixture and adjusting seasoning if needed.
  7. Lay out large lettuce leaves on a plate or board, selecting crisp leaves that can hold the filling.
  8. Spoon a generous portion of the tuna-chickpea mixture onto each lettuce leaf.
  9. Fold or roll the leaves slightly to form handheld wraps ready to serve.
