Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Mini croissants
- 7 ounces Canned tuna in water, drained
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk Celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1 piece Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Tomato, thinly sliced
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Start by preparing the tuna salad. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, green onion, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all ingredients together until the tuna is well coated and the mixture is creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Slice each mini croissant in half horizontally. To keep them low fat, avoid using butter or spreads.
On the bottom half of each croissant, place a small piece of lettuce followed by a thin slice of tomato.
Add a generous spoonful of the tuna mixture on top of the tomato.
Place the top half of the croissant over the filling to complete the sandwich.
Repeat the assembly process for each croissant.
Serve the sandwiches immediately, or cover them and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
