Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large stalk celery
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 small dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 large leaves lettuce leaves

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into a medium-sized mixing bowl using a fork.
Finely dice the celery, red onion, and dill pickle, and add them to the bowl with the tuna.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the tuna and vegetables, and gently stir everything together until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Lay out the slices of sourdough bread. Place a large lettuce leaf on two of the slices, followed by a few slices of tomato.
Spoon generous portions of the tuna salad mixture onto the tomato slices, spreading it evenly.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to form two sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with chips, a pickle spear, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
