Ingredients

• 2 cans canned tuna in water
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 large celery stalk
• 0.25 medium red onion
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 medium dill pickle
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 items large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 medium sliced tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a small bowl in the microwave or a small saucepan on the stove.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and eggs until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two portions and shape into long sub rolls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the sub rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to touch. Let cool slightly.

Step 8

While the buns are baking, prepare the tuna salad. Drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl.

Step 9

Chop the celery and dill pickle finely, and dice the red onion.

Step 10

Add the chopped celery, onion, and pickle to the tuna. Stir in the mayonnaise and lemon juice.

Step 11

Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 12

Once the sub rolls are slightly cooled, slice them horizontally to open them for filling.

Step 13

Start with a layer of shredded lettuce on each bun bottom, followed by the sliced tomatoes.

Step 14

Top with half of the tuna mixture on each sub.

Step 15

Close the buns, cut each sub in half if desired, and serve.
