Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 stalk Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Bread slices
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery and red onion. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Butter one side of each bread slice lightly.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Toast the buttered side of the bread slices until golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
To assemble, spread a generous amount of tuna salad onto the unbuttered side of one slice of toasted bread.
Place a large leaf of lettuce over the tuna salad and top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 sandwiches in total.
Cut each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
