Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (each approx. 5 ounces) canned tuna in water
- 4 tablespoons dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 celery stalks, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 slices slices of whole grain or gluten-free bread
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup mixed greens or arugula
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium-sized bowl.
Add dairy-free mayonnaise, diced celery, chopped red onion, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the tuna. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place two slices of whole grain or gluten-free bread in the skillet and toast each side until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining two slices of bread, adding the remaining teaspoon of olive oil to the pan.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the skillet and let it cool slightly.
Spread a generous amount of the prepared tuna mixture onto each slice of toast.
Top the tuna with a handful of mixed greens or arugula, then place another slice of toast on top, if desired, to create a sandwich, or leave it open-faced.
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm for the best flavor experience.
