Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna (in water)
- 0.333 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 slices Bread (sliced, your choice: white, whole grain, or sourdough)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (softened)
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into small pieces.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, red onion, fresh parsley, and lemon juice to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one slice of bread butter-side down in the skillet. Layer with a lettuce leaf, slices of tomato, and a generous amount of the tuna mixture.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Toast the sandwich for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from heat and repeat with the second sandwich.
Cut each sandwich in half, serve warm, and enjoy your Perfect Tuna Sandwich!
