Spicy, Crunchy Tuna Salad Lettuce Cups
Print Recipe
This is not your deli’s tuna salad—OK, it kinda is, but with a twist. Meet spicy, crunchy tuna salad lettuce cups. They’re like your protein-packed, cheap lunch staple, but with lettuce instead of bread (refreshing!) and plenty of our fave condiment, chile crisp. We like the one from Fly by Jing, but you can also make your own if you’re feeling ambitious.
Ingredients
One 6-ounce can tuna, drained
¼ cup finely chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet onion
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 jalapeño
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lettuce leaves and chile crisp, to serve
Directions
1. In a small bowl, combine the tuna, celery, onion, mayonnaise and vinegar.
2. Thinly slice half of the jalapeño into rounds. Set aside. Finely chop the remaining half and add to the tuna salad mixture; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. To serve, spoon some of the tuna salad into the lettuce leaves and top with the reserved jalapeño slices and chile crisp.
