Seared tuna served in lettuce wraps with finely chopped carrot, cucumber, and cilantro is light, healthy, and simple. Serve for lunch or as a first course or appetizer at dinner or your next gathering. For a simple dipping sauce, coconut aminos (or regular soy sauce) will do, but feel free to make the sauce your own by adding a dash of rice vinegar, lime juice, or sriracha, or some grated ginger.

Ahi Tuna Lettuce Bites
I am a Nurse, wife, and mom. I have spent over 20 years in Healthcare and always took care of everyone else. Finally, after years of yo-yo dieting and failed New Years' resolutions, and complete desperation, I found something that Finally worked for me. I have been doing this Keto/Low carb lifestyle for over 3 years and have lost over 100lbs. My goal was to bring this lifestyle to my family and we went from couch potatoes to our 1st 5k and have lost over 300 lbs. We still have a long way to reach our goals, but we strive to be better every day. I enjoy helping women bring this Keto/Low carb lifestyle to the family.
