Ingredients

• 2 6-ounce cans Canned tuna in water (drained)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 stalks Celery (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Dill pickle (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Sliced tomato
• 8 slices Bread slices (your choice of white, wheat, or sourdough)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to break apart any large chunks.

Step 2

Add mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, red onion, dill pickle, and chopped parsley to the tuna.

Step 3

Stir in lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier texture.

Step 5

If you'd like to toast the bread, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.

Step 6

To assemble the sandwiches, place a lettuce leaf on 4 slices of bread, then layer a slice of tomato on top.

Step 7

Scoop a generous portion of the tuna salad onto the tomato slice and spread evenly using a spoon or knife.

Step 8

Place the remaining bread slices on top, cut the sandwiches diagonally, and serve immediately.
