Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (approximately 5 ounces) Canned tuna in water (low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl with the tuna.
Using a fork, gently mix the ingredients until well combined but still slightly chunky.
Place the whole-grain bread slices on a clean work surface. For each sandwich, spread half of the tuna mixture evenly onto one slice of bread.
Layer a handful of baby spinach leaves and 2 tomato slices on top of the tuna mixture.
Top with another slice of bread to form the sandwich and gently press down.
Cut each sandwich in half (diagonally, if desired) and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
