PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Drain the canned tuna very well and pat it dry with paper towels to avoid a watery salad.
2
Chill the assembled tuna mixture for 10 minutes before spooning into lettuce to let flavors meld.
3
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor that won't separate.
4
Butter lettuce leaves are delicate; handle gently and fill just before serving to keep them crisp.
5
For extra crunch, save a few diced celery pieces to sprinkle on top just before serving.
