Ingredients You’ll Need

Most of these items are likely in your pantry or fridge right now. Use seasonal microgreens to add a punch of nutrition and texture.

• 10 ounces canned tuna, drained
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons red onion, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 sheets toasted nori seaweed
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cup cucumber, julienned
• 1/2 cup microgreens or sprouts

Step-by-Step

1. In a medium bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork until consistent in texture.
2. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, minced red onion, lemon juice, and black pepper to the bowl; mix until thoroughly combined.
3. Place one nori sheet on a clean, dry surface with the rough side facing up.
4. Distribute one-quarter of the tuna mixture in a horizontal line across the lower third of the nori sheet, leaving a small margin at the edges.
5. Layer a portion of the sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, and microgreens directly on top of the tuna mixture.
6. Roll the nori sheet tightly from the bottom edge towards the top, keeping the filling compressed.
7. Dab the top edge of the nori with a small amount of water to act as an adhesive and seal the roll.
8. Repeat the assembly process for the remaining three sheets and serve immediately to prevent the seaweed from becoming soft.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these wraps immediately while the nori is still crispy and fresh. Pair them with a side of edamame or a simple miso soup. They look impressive on a platter for a light weekend brunch. You can even dip them in a little soy sauce for extra saltiness.

Keep It Fresh

These wraps are best eaten right away. Seaweed absorbs moisture quickly and will get chewy if left sitting. If you are meal prepping, store the tuna salad separately. Assemble your Tuna Salad Nori Wraps just before you are ready to eat.

Pro Tips

• Make sure your hands are completely dry when handling the nori.
• Do not overfill the wraps or they will be hard to roll.
• Use a very sharp knife if you want to slice them into rounds.
• Squeeze extra lemon on the avocado to keep it from browning.
• The rough side of the seaweed should always face up.
• Dab water sparingly to seal the edge so it stays secure.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Add a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy tuna vibe.
• Swap the tuna for canned salmon or shredded chicken.
• Use bell peppers instead of cucumber for extra sweetness.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Common Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

It is not recommended because the seaweed gets soft. Prepare the filling ahead and roll when hungry.

Is this recipe keto-friendly?

Yes, this is a low-carb powerhouse perfect for keto diets. It replaces high-carb bread with nutrient-dense seaweed.

You deserve a lunch that makes you feel amazing. Go roll these up right now!
