Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 stalk (finely diced) Celery
- 2 tablespoons (finely diced) Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Hot dog buns or small sandwich rolls
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 leaves Leaf lettuce
Instructions
Open the can of tuna and drain any liquid. Place the tuna in a medium-sized bowl and flake it with a fork.
Add mayonnaise, finely diced celery, diced red onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined to form the tuna salad.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed (add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, as desired). Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
Slice the hot dog buns or small sandwich rolls lengthwise (if not pre-sliced) and lightly toast the cut sides in the skillet until golden brown. This should take about 1-2 minutes per side.
Once toasted, place a leaf of lettuce on the bottom half of each bun or roll.
Spoon half of the tuna salad onto each roll on top of the lettuce leaf.
Top with the other half of the rolls or buns and serve immediately.
