Healthy Tuna Salad Lettuce Cups

Confession: I would rather slit my wrists than eat the same turkey sandwich every day for lunch. Don’t get me wrong, I love a tasty sandwich but I get bored eating the same lunch every single day.

For extra creaminess and added protein, I mix the mayo with Greek yogurt. Combine it with dill pickles and Dijon for added kick with very few extra calories. Red peppers and celery pack the meal with extra Vitamin C – just in time for cold season.

Your lettuce cup is waiting.
