Preparation

  1. Make the filling

    In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cottage cheese, tuna, finely chopped shallot, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

    Drain the tuna well before mixing.

  2. Prepare the lettuce

    3 min

    Separate the little gem lettuce leaves and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry to keep them crisp.

    Use the largest leaves for easier filling.

  3. Fill the lettuce leaves

    1 min

    Spoon the tuna mixture generously into the center of each lettuce leaf.

    Do not overfill to make them easier to eat.

  4. Finish

    1 min

    Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the top for extra freshness and flavor.

    A little dill also pairs well with the tuna.

  5. Serve

    Serve immediately while the lettuce remains crisp and refreshing.

    Perfect as an appetizer, light lunch, or healthy snack.

Notes & tips

Tips
