Prep time15 min

Cook time0 min

Flaky tuna gets folded with crisp celery, thinly sliced scallion greens, and a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then brightened with a hit of turmeric and ginger for warmth without any harsh bite. Egg-free mayonnaise keeps the whole mixture creamy and cool, while fresh parsley adds a clean, herby lift that keeps every forkful tasting fresh rather than heavy. Spooned into crisp cups of butter lettuce, this comes together as a light, protein-packed lunch you can eat with your hands, no bread required. A few slices of cucumber tucked into each wrap add a cool crunch that plays nicely against the tangy, savory filling. Because the ingredient list is short and straightforward, it's easy to keep this one gentle on digestion, making it a genuinely solid option for a Low FODMAP kitchen. Serve them right away while the lettuce is still cold and snappy for the best texture contrast in every bite.
