Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon red onion, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 slices whole-grain bread slices
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting)
- 2 leaves lettuce leaves (optional)
- 4 slices tomato slices (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, and lemon juice.
Step 2
Stir everything together until well-mixed and creamy.
Step 3
Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 4
If you prefer toasted sandwiches, spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buttered sides until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes each.
Step 5
Lay the bread slices flat with either the toasted or untoasted side facing up (depending on your preference).
Step 6
Spread the prepared tuna mixture evenly over two of the slices of bread.
Step 7
Top the tuna mixture with lettuce leaves and tomato slices, if using, for added texture and freshness.
Step 8
Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches. Slice in half and serve immediately.
