Tips

Why it works
Обсуши листья романо после промывки: на мокрой зелени начинка быстро сползает, а края теряют плотность за 5–10 минут.
Substitutions
Замени греческий йогурт 30 г сметаной 10–15%, вкус станет мягче. Вместо романо возьми плотные листья айсберга в том же весе.
Common mistakes
Частая ошибка — не слить жидкость с тунца: начинка выглядит водянистой, а в листьях сразу собирается сок.
Storing and reheating
Начинку храни в холодильнике до 1 дня, листья держи отдельно. Разогрев не нужен, собери салат перед едой.
Serve with
Подавай как быстрый перекус с ржаным хлебцем или куском цельнозернового хлеба.
