What is Tuna with lettuce?
Tuna with lettuce is a simple salad combining crisp lettuce leaves with tuna, often canned for convenience. It has no single place of origin; similar combinations are common in home kitchens and cafés around the world. Lemon juice, olive oil, tomatoes or cucumber are easy additions, while sweetcorn is also popular in some versions.
The cool crunch of the lettuce contrasts with tuna’s soft, savoury flakes. It works as a light lunch or supper, on its own or with bread, and can also be served as a side. It is relatively low in carbohydrate and provides 13.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter bowl, keep the dressing modest and add extra fresh vegetables.
