Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 (5 oz) can high-quality tuna in water, drained
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 leaves crisp lettuce
- 2 slices whole grain bread (or your choice)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and thoroughly drain the tuna to avoid excess moisture in your sandwich.
- Mix Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, and diced red onion. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a balanced and creamy tuna filling.
- Season to Taste: Taste the tuna mixture and adjust seasoning if desired with additional mayonnaise, mustard, or a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble Sandwich: On one slice of bread, place the lettuce leaves first to keep the bread from becoming soggy. Spread the tuna salad evenly over the lettuce.
- Complete and Serve: Top with the second slice of bread, press gently, and cut the sandwich diagonally for an appealing presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness and flavor.
- Use whole grain or multi-seed bread for added fiber and nutrients.
- You can add sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for extra crunch and taste.
- Keep lettuce between the tuna and bread to prevent sogginess.
