A vibrant staple of Italian summer dining, succulent flakes of pole-caught tuna are tossed with crisp red onion, sweet cherry tomatoes, and plump Cannellini beans. Resting on a bed of peppery rocket and drizzled with lemon-infused extra virgin olive oil, every refreshing bite offers a delightful contrast of velvety texture and bright, Mediterranean brightness finished with a scatter of fresh parsley.

Notes:

Greek yoghurt or sour cream can be substituted for the cream cheese or mayonnaise.

Hot chilli paste and horseradish are optional for added warmth and tang.

Any variety of lettuce leaves, such as butterhead, Little Gem, or Romaine, can be used to form the serving cups.

Combine the Dressing Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped onion, capers, chopped chives, diced pimiento, hot chilli paste, horseradish, and a pinch of salt.

Incorporate the Tuna
Flake the canned albacore tuna into the bowl along with its juices. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and creamy.

Plate and Serve
Arrange fresh, clean lettuce leaves on a platter to form small cup shapes. Spoon equal portions of the tuna salad into each lettuce leaf cup and serve immediately.
