Steps
Prepare Tuna Salad
In a medium bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, finely diced celery, red onion, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and you have a creamy consistency.
Assemble Sandwich
Take out your bread slices. Divide the tuna salad evenly between two slices of bread, then top with the remaining two slices. If desired, toast the bread beforehand, or add fresh lettuce leaves and tomato slices to the sandwich. Serve immediately or pack for later.
Extra Tips
► Experiment with different types of bread, such as rye bread or baguette, for variety.
► Add a pinch of hot sauce or finely chopped jalapeño if you like spicy flavors.
► The tuna salad can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge, so you just need to assemble the sandwich when you're hungry.
