Directions
- Rinse and dry all fresh produce, then prep vegetables: cut celery into thin crosswise slices, shred parsley leaves, and set them aside.
- Rinse and drain the cannellini beans in a colander and let them drain while you prep the rest.
- In a medium bowl, zest the lemon and squeeze in the juice; add the minced shallot and stir to blend.
- Add celery, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and olive halves to the bowl; gently mix to combine.
- Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and add to the bowl along with the parsley.
- Drain and flake the tuna, then mix it into the bowl with the beans and a small amount of mayonnaise; season with pepper and fold until evenly mixed.
- Separate the lettuce leaves and arrange two leaves per wrap on plates; spoon the salad onto the lettuce and top with a pinch of reserved parsley.
- Roll each wrapped stack loosely and plate for serving; adjust seasoning if needed and serve.
Two tips
- Make ahead: prep the vegetables and tuna salad up to the step before assembling wraps, then refrigerate.
- Serve with crusty bread or use extra olives as a topping for added texture.
