Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5 oz cans Canned tuna (in water)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 stalk (finely diced) Celery
- 2 tablespoons (finely minced) Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 slices Bread slices (multigrain or your choice)
- 3 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large (thinly sliced) Tomato
Instructions
Open the cans of tuna and drain the excess water. Transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, finely diced celery, minced red onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna.
Using a fork, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Break up any large chunks of tuna to achieve a creamy texture.
Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Place a lettuce leaf on one side of three slices to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Spoon a generous amount of tuna salad mixture onto the lettuce-lined slices of bread and spread evenly.
Add sliced tomato on top of the tuna salad if desired.
Cover each sandwich with the remaining bread slices.
Cut the sandwiches diagonally to create halves, if preferred, and serve immediately.
