Ingredients

• 4 pieces or ounces eggs (large, hard-boiled, peeled and diced) or canned tuna (drained and flaked)
• 0.333 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup black olives (sliced)
• 0.25 cup green olives (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
• 8 pieces bread slices (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)

Directions

Step 1

If using eggs, hard-boil them beforehand. Allow them to cool, then peel and dice them into small chunks. If using tuna, drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced eggs or flaked tuna with the mayonnaise, black olives, green olives, chopped parsley, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 3

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or mustard if desired.

Step 4

Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread a generous portion of the egg or tuna salad mixture onto 4 of the bread slices.

Step 5

If using lettuce, place a lettuce leaf on top of the salad mixture for added crunch and freshness.

Step 6

Top with the remaining 4 bread slices to form sandwiches.

Step 7

Cut the sandwiches diagonally into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in cling wrap if preparing in advance to keep the sandwiches fresh.
