A refreshing and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired tuna salad served in crisp lettuce wraps.
Drain the tuna and place it in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
Chop the olives, garlic, red onion, celery, and red bell pepper into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife for precise cuts and to maintain the texture of the vegetables.
Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the tuna.
Mix gently to keep the tuna flakes intact.
Drizzle the red wine vinegar and olive oil over the mixture, then season with salt and black pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Chop the parsley and fold it into the mixture.
Fresh parsley adds a burst of flavor and color to the dish.
Spoon the tuna mixture onto the butter lettuce leaves and arrange them on a serving plate.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
