Traditionally I would save these summery treats for the warmer months but as Tuna is still in season, the price reasonable and the quality excellent I can’t resist. We are, after all, having some wonderful warm days with thankfully, no Southeaster. My whole family gets involved in the cutting, wrapping and preparing of these scrumptious fresh wraps – they’re so easy and fun to make! They’re also healthy, delicious to eat, and make an appetizing starter, snack or light lunch.
