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)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer the tuna to a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, pickle relish, diced celery, and diced red onion to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 3

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix well until all ingredients are combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 4

Lay out the slices of sandwich bread on a cutting board. Lightly butter one side of each slice to add richness and prevent sogginess.

Step 5

Spread a generous amount of the tuna mixture onto half of the bread slices (buttered side facing down).

Step 6

If using, place a small piece of lettuce on top of the tuna mixture for added crunch and color.

Step 7

Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up, to form sandwiches.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim off the crusts of each sandwich (optional for presentation).

Step 9

Cut each sandwich into four bite-sized squares (or triangles, if preferred).

Step 10

Arrange the Tangy Tuna Sandwich Bites on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
