Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna in water
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons pickle relish
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices sliced sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 leaves lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer the tuna to a mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, pickle relish, diced celery, and diced red onion to the bowl with the tuna.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix well until all ingredients are combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Lay out the slices of sandwich bread on a cutting board. Lightly butter one side of each slice to add richness and prevent sogginess.
Spread a generous amount of the tuna mixture onto half of the bread slices (buttered side facing down).
If using, place a small piece of lettuce on top of the tuna mixture for added crunch and color.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim off the crusts of each sandwich (optional for presentation).
Cut each sandwich into four bite-sized squares (or triangles, if preferred).
Arrange the Tangy Tuna Sandwich Bites on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
