Ingredients
- 1 can of tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 2 tbsp diced red onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 bread slices
- Lettuce leaves
Directions
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring the canned tuna is well-drained. Place the tuna in a large mixing bowl.
To the bowl, add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1 tbsp of mustard. These ingredients will add a creamy consistency and a tangy flavor to the tuna salad.
Continue by adding 1/4 cup of diced celery and 2 tbsp of diced red onion into the bowl. The celery and onion will introduce a crunchy texture and a slight bite to the salad.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Start with a pinch of each and adjust as necessary.
Using a fork or a spoon, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Ensure that the tuna is evenly coated with the mayonnaise and mustard, and the celery and onion are distributed throughout the salad.
Take 4 slices of bread and, if preferred, toast them lightly for added texture and warmth. Toasting the bread is optional but recommended for a crunchier sandwich.
Lay out two slices of the bread and divide the tuna salad evenly between them, spreading it across the surface of each slice.
Add a few lettuce leaves on top of the tuna salad on each sandwich. The lettuce will add a fresh, crisp layer to your sandwich.
Cover each with the remaining slices of bread, creating two full sandwiches.
With a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich in half, either diagonally or straight across, according to your preference.
Serve the tuna salad sandwiches immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your meal!
