Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 4 sheets of nori
- 1 cup mixed salad greens
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of drained tuna, 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions, 4 sheets of nori, and 1 cup of mixed salad greens.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, mustard, olive oil, and chopped green onions. Use a fork to mix everything together until well combined. Make sure the tuna is broken up into smaller pieces and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Once the tuna mixture is ready, lay out the nori sheets on a clean, flat surface or cutting board. Place two sheets of nori side by side, shiny side down, as you will be making two wraps.
- In the center of each nori sheet, add a generous portion of the tuna mixture. Use about half of the mixture for each wrap, spreading it evenly across the center of the nori.
- Top the tuna mixture with a handful of mixed salad greens, spreading them out evenly over the tuna. This will add freshness and crunch to your wraps.
- To wrap the nori, start by folding the bottom edge of the nori over the filling, tucking it tightly. Then, fold in the sides of the nori towards the center, ensuring the filling is secure. Continue rolling the wrap away from you until you reach the top edge of the nori. Use a little water to seal the edge if needed.
- Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining two sheets of nori and the remaining tuna mixture and salad greens.
- Once all wraps are prepared, cut each wrap in half at a slight angle for presentation. Serve immediately, or you can wrap them in parchment paper for a portable meal option.
- Enjoy your Tuna Salad Seaweed Wraps, no mayo, as a light and healthy meal!
Tips
- Choose Quality Tuna: Opt for high-quality tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
- Customize Your Greens: Feel free to mix in your favorite salad greens or add other veggies like cucumbers or shredded carrots for extra crunch.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of sesame seeds to the tuna mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Perfecting the Wrap: When rolling the nori, ensure you tuck the filling tightly to prevent it from spilling out. A little water on the edges can help seal the wrap.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of soy sauce or wasabi for dipping, or enjoy them as is for a lighter option.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the tuna mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Just assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat for a quick meal.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in parchment paper and store them in the fridge for up to a day. Enjoy them cold or at room temperature!
