Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna
• 3 tablespoons Dairy-free mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 medium Celery stalk
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Red onion
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 slices Dairy-free cheese
• 4 slices Sourdough bread
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium bowl.

Step 2

Add dairy-free mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the tuna and stir until well combined.

Step 3

Finely chop the celery stalk and add it to the mixture along with the finely chopped red onion.

Step 4

Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.

Step 5

Lay out the sourdough bread slices and arrange the tuna mixture evenly on two of the slices.

Step 6

Place two slices of dairy-free cheese on top of the tuna mixture on each sandwich.

Step 7

Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, add the sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the dairy-free cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove the sandwiches from the heat, let them cool for a minute, and then slice in half if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
