Scale
Protein:
- 1 (5 ounces / 142 grams) can tuna
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons diced dill pickles
Seasoning and Binding:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Serving:
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
Instructions
- Thoroughly drain canned tuna, ensuring minimal moisture remains.
- In a mixing bowl, blend tuna with mayonnaise until smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate crisp, diced celery and sharp red onion to enhance texture and taste profile.
- Fold in finely minced dill pickles, introducing a zesty, bright undertone to the mixture.
- Delicately season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to personal preference.
- Lavishly spread the tuna blend across fresh bread slices, creating an even, generous layer.
- Crown with a complementary bread slice, pressing gently to secure the filling.
- Slice diagonally to create elegant triangular halves.
- Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or refrigerate for later consumption.
Notes
- Pat the tuna dry with paper towels to ensure a thick, creamy texture without excess water.
- Consider Greek yogurt or mashed avocado as a healthier mayonnaise alternative for a lighter, protein-packed sandwich.
- Customize the crunch by swapping celery with diced cucumber or bell peppers for different flavor profiles and added nutrients.
- Make the sandwich gluten-free by using lettuce wraps or gluten-free bread instead of traditional slices.
