Ingredients
Salad 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
Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 leaves crisp lettuce
- 2 slices whole grain bread (or your choice)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the tuna is thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture in the salad.
- Mix Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, and diced red onion. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the tuna mixture and adjust seasoning as desired, adding more mayonnaise or mustard if a creamier or tangier flavor is preferred.
- Assemble Sandwich: On one slice of bread, place the lettuce leaves first to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. Spoon the tuna salad mixture evenly over the lettuce.
- Finish and Serve: Top with the second slice of bread, press gently to secure, and cut the sandwich diagonally for an appealing presentation before serving.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness and flavor.
- Use fresh, crisp lettuce like romaine or iceberg for added crunch.
- Customize the sandwich by adding tomato slices or cucumber.
- Serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
