Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5 oz cans canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 0.33 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices sandwich bread (your choice, e.g., whole wheat, white, or sourdough)
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato (sliced)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, ranch dressing, and mayonnaise. Use a fork to break up the tuna and mix everything until well incorporated.
Add the chopped celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Lay out 4 slices of bread on a flat surface. Place one lettuce leaf on each slice.
Evenly distribute the tuna salad mixture over the 4 slices with lettuce. Spread the tuna salad gently to cover the bread completely.
Add a slice or two of tomato on top of the tuna salad, if desired.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
Cut the sandwiches in halves or quarters for easier serving, if desired. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
