Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna
- 3 tablespoons Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 medium Celery stalk
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Dairy-free cheese
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium bowl.
Add dairy-free mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the tuna and stir until well combined.
Finely chop the celery stalk and add it to the mixture along with the finely chopped red onion.
Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
Lay out the sourdough bread slices and arrange the tuna mixture evenly on two of the slices.
Place two slices of dairy-free cheese on top of the tuna mixture on each sandwich.
Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Once the oil is hot, add the sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the dairy-free cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat, let them cool for a minute, and then slice in half if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
