When using Wild Planet Tuna, there is no need to drain liquid. Place tuna in a medium size bowl and break apart well with a fork. Add remaining ingredients except lettuce and mix well. Break apart lettuce leaves and place on 4 plates, add 1/4 of tuna mixture on top of each plate. Garnish with lemon wedges.
