a) Trim the baby gem lettuce, then peel off as many big leaves as you can. Arrange them on a chopping board so that they’re ready to fill with the tuna mixture.

b) Stop once the leaves are too small to peel off, then thinly slice the baby gem core.

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

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

Make the Tuna Filling
2

a) In a large bowl, add the tuna, sun-dried tomato paste, half the pine nuts and the mayonnaise (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then mix until combined.

b) Gently stir the shredded lettuce, three quarters of the tomatoes and three quarters of the avocado through the tuna mayo mixture.
