Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 5-ounce can tuna, packed in water
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon dill relish
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 slices bread, toasted (Canyon brand gluten-free bread recommended)
- Butter or Bibb lettuce leaves for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Mixture: Drain the canned tuna and place it in a small mixing bowl. Use a fork to break up the tuna into smaller flakes. Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, dill relish, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir everything thoroughly to combine the ingredients into a smooth tuna salad.
- Serve the Sandwich: Either chill the tuna salad in the refrigerator for later use or serve immediately. Place a generous amount of tuna salad onto a slice of toasted bread, add butter or Bibb lettuce leaves if desired, and top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich. Enjoy as a quick and tasty meal.
Notes
- This tuna salad can also be served over a bed of fresh greens instead of as a sandwich for a lighter option.
- Using gluten-free bread such as Canyon brand makes this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Adjust the seasoning and relish quantities to taste for a more or less tangy or herby flavor profile.
- For a creamier texture, add a little extra mayonnaise or a squeeze of lemon juice.
