Instructions
Start by preparing the tuna salad. Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Season the tuna salad with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Mix until the tuna is fully coated with the dressing.
Slice the baguette lengthwise and open it up, creating a base and a top for the sandwich.
On the base of the baguette, layer the lettuce leaves evenly over the bread.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and arrange them on top of the lettuce.
Spoon the tuna salad evenly across the tomato slices, spreading it so it covers the entire base of the baguette.
