Mediterranean Diet Friendly Coconut-Turmeric Tuna Salad Wraps

Wild-caught tuna gets flaked and folded with a creamy coconut milk dressing brightened by turmeric, ginger, and a splash of apple cider vinegar for tang. Crisp celery, grated carrot, scallion greens, and fresh cilantro add crunch and color, while a squeeze of lime juice keeps everything tasting fresh and vibrant. Spooned into crisp butter lettuce leaves with optional cucumber slices, these wraps are light, portable, and packed with lean protein and vegetables. The turmeric-spiced dressing brings warmth and gentle earthiness without any heaviness, making this a satisfying lunch that doesn't weigh you down. It's an easy, no-cook option that leans on whole fish, fresh produce, and good-for-you fats, making it a smart pick for a Mediterranean-style way of eating.
