Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 strips bacon
- 1/3 cup olive or avocado oil mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
- Two 5-ounce cans tuna packed in olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the oil reserved and the rest drained
- 2 scallions, sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium tomato, halved and cut into 8 slices
- 16 leaves Bibb lettuce
Description
- Cover the eggs with about an inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and submerge in ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and chop.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble into bite-size pieces.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, celery, reserved tuna oil, three-quarters of the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
- Double-up the lettuce leaves and fill each with some tuna salad. Tuck in a tomato slice. Sprinkle with reserved scallions, bacon and egg.
