Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Gluten-free bread
- 1 can Canned tuna (in water or olive oil, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (gluten-free, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Celery (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard (if using) to the bowl with the tuna. Mix well using a fork to break up the tuna and create a creamy mixture.
Stir in the finely chopped celery and red onion, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the tuna mixture.
Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix again to combine.
Lay out the slices of gluten-free bread. Place a lettuce leaf on one side of each slice to create a barrier that helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly onto one slice of bread over the lettuce leaf.
Top with the second slice of bread, lettuce side down, to complete the sandwich.
Using a serrated knife, cut the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
