Tuna Caesar Style Lettuce Cups
15 Min Serves 2
This tasty version of a Caesar salad uses Tuna instead of chicken and is served in cute little lettuce cups, for a fun lunch or starter. We’ve made the dressing a bit lighter using Greek yogurt – its lovely and creamy and higher in protein with less fat! This recipe makes double the amount of dressing you need for two portions so keep the rest in a clean jar in the fridge and use another day (use within 3 days)
Ingredients
- 1 John West No Drain Fridge Pot Tuna Steak in Brine

- Extra parmesan, shaved
- Wedges of lemon
For Dressing:
- 1 John West Anchovy fillet (from a jar),
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tbs grated fresh parmesan
- 4 tbs Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- Black pepper
No Drain Fridge Pot Tuna Steak With A Little Brine
Tuna steak with a dash of brine. Perfect for a mess-free, post-gym tuna pasta topping that’s packed with easy natural protein in our no-drain, fridge-friendly pot.
Step 1
First make the dressing – crush the anchovy fillet with the blade of a knife or chop very finely. Combine the anchovy paste, 2 tbs lemon juice, mustard, garlic and grated parmesan in a bowl and mix well (alternatively add to a mini food processor and blitz for a few seconds – you don’t need to crush the anchovy if using a processor)
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the yogurt and olive oil (by hand or in the processor) then stir in the black pepper. Taste, and add a little more lemon juice if needed. Transfer half the dressing to a clean jar and pop in the fridge to use for something else.
Step 3
Separate the leaves of the Gem lettuce then wash and dry them. Keep the 4 nicest large leaves and place these on a serving plate. Shred the rest of the leaves finely and divide between the whole leaves
Step 4
Add about 5 croutons to each lettuce cup then divide the tuna between them. Shave a few very thin shards of parmesan over the top then drizzle with a little dressing
Step 5
Add another pinch of black pepper and serve with lemon wedges
