Instructions
Begin by draining the canned tuna to remove excess water and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped celery, chopped red onion, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients well until everything is combined and the mixture is creamy.
Fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs gently to ensure they remain in chunks.
Slice the whole wheat baguette lengthwise and slightly hollow out the inside for space to fill.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly within the baguette halves.
Layer mixed salad greens on top of the tuna in each baguette, followed by cherry tomato halves.
Close the baguette, pressing gently to secure the filling without pushing it out.
Slice the filled baguette into four even pieces to serve.
Serve the tuna baguette immediately for a fresh and crunchy texture.
