Ingredients

• 1 loaf Whole grain baguette
• 140 grams Canned tuna in water
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 small Celery stalk
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients. Finely chop the celery stalk, mince the parsley, and finely dice the red onion.

Step 2

Open the can of tuna, drain the water thoroughly, and transfer the tuna into a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the low-fat Greek yogurt to the tuna. This serves as a healthier, lower-fat alternative to mayonnaise.

Step 4

Add the fresh lemon juice, chopped celery, diced red onion, Dijon mustard, minced parsley, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 5

Using a fork, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid breaking the tuna into too small pieces.

Step 6

Slice the whole grain baguette in half lengthwise. If needed, you can toast it lightly for extra texture.

Step 7

Place the lettuce leaves on one half of the baguette evenly.

Step 8

Slice the tomato and layer it on top of the lettuce.

Step 9

Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the tomato slices, spreading it evenly throughout the length of the baguette.

Step 10

Cap with the other half of the baguette, slice into serving portions if desired, and serve immediately.
