– 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
– 1 avocado, mashed
– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (paleo-approved)
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

– 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
– 1 carrot, shredded
– A handful of spinach or arugula

– Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Making Tuna Salad Nori Wraps is a breeze when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
2. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust according to personal preference.
3. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and shred the carrot.
4. Lay Nori Sheets: Place a nori sheet flat on a clean surface or bamboo mat.
5. Add Tuna Mixture: Spoon a portion of the tuna salad onto the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving some space at the edges.
6. Layer Vegetables: Add a few slices of cucumber, shredded carrot, and a handful of spinach or arugula on top of the tuna mixture.
7. Roll: Gently lift the edge of the nori closest to you and begin rolling away from you, tucking the ingredients in as you go. Roll firmly but not too tight to avoid tearing the nori.
8. Slice: Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the wrap into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean edges.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for an added touch, if desired.
10. Repeat: Continue with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
