how to make Tuna Salad Nori Wraps

Follow the simple steps below. Work on a clean flat surface and keep a damp towel nearby to seal the nori if needed. Roll gently so the filling stays inside. Cut with a sharp knife for clean slices.

1 can of tuna, drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
Nori sheets
Cucumber, julienned
Carrot, julienned
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions :

In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, and chopped green onion. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lay out a sheet of nori on a flat surface.
Spread a small amount of the tuna mixture on the nori, leaving some space at the edges.
Add cucumber and carrot strips on top of the tuna mixture.
Carefully roll the nori away from you, tucking in the filling as you go.
Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and serve.
