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
Directions
Step 1
Open the cans of tuna and drain the excess water. Transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the mayonnaise, finely diced celery, minced red onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna.
Step 3
Using a fork, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Break up any large chunks of tuna to achieve a creamy texture.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spoon a generous amount of tuna salad mixture onto the lettuce-lined slices of bread and spread evenly.
Step 6
Add sliced tomato on top of the tuna salad if desired.
Step 7
Cover each sandwich with the remaining bread slices.
Step 8
Cut the sandwiches diagonally to create halves, if preferred, and serve immediately.
