Ingredients
- 185g / 6 oz canned tuna in oil, drained
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp celery, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 2 lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Drain the canned tuna and place it in a bowl.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, celery (if using), and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Lay out the sandwich bread and place a lettuce leaf on two slices.
- Divide the tuna mixture between the two slices with lettuce and spread evenly.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, press down gently, and slice in half if desired.
Notes
