Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (solid white albacore or light, drained)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, minced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, toss the mixed greens and cherry tomatoes with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing for a light, dressed salad. Set aside.
Step 3
If desired, lightly butter one side of each bread slice for added richness. Layer two of the bread slices with half of the tuna salad mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the bread.
Step 4
Top the tuna salad with a generous handful of the dressed greens and tomatoes for added crunch and freshness.
Step 5
Close each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, pressing gently to secure the filling. Slice in half for easier handling, if preferred.
