Ingredients

• 2 cans (each approx. 5 ounces) canned tuna in water
• 4 tablespoons dairy-free mayonnaise
• 2 celery stalks, finely diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 4 slices slices of whole grain or gluten-free bread
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 cup mixed greens or arugula

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add dairy-free mayonnaise, diced celery, chopped red onion, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the tuna. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Place two slices of whole grain or gluten-free bread in the skillet and toast each side until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining two slices of bread, adding the remaining teaspoon of olive oil to the pan.

Step 5

Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the skillet and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

Spread a generous amount of the prepared tuna mixture onto each slice of toast.

Step 7

Top the tuna with a handful of mixed greens or arugula, then place another slice of toast on top, if desired, to create a sandwich, or leave it open-faced.

Step 8

Serve immediately while the bread is still warm for the best flavor experience.
