Instructions

Prep the Veg
1

a) Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce, then peel off as many big leaves as you can, arranging them so they’re ready to fill with the tuna mixture. Stop once the leaves are too small to peel off. Then, thinly slice the baby gem core. 

b) Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board. Cut into 1cm chunks.

c) Quarter the baby plum tomatoes, then chop each quarter in half once more.

Bring on the Tuna Filling
2

a) In a large bowl, add the basil flavoured tuna, sun-dried tomato paste, half the pine nuts and the mayonnaise (see pantry for amount). Mix until combined.

b) Add all the shredded lettuce, three-quarters of the baby plum tomatoes and three-quarters of the avocado to the tuna mixture and gently mix through.

Lunch is Served
3

a) Evenly fill the lettuce cups with the tuna mixture. 

b) Arrange the remaining avocado and baby plum tomatoes on top.

c) Scatter over the pine nuts to finish.

Enjoy!
