Ingredients
- 2 (5-ounce) cans white albacore tuna in water
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- 1/3 cup 2% greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Lettuce (for serving)
- Bread (for serving)
Step 1: Prepare the Dressing
In a bowl, combine ⅓ cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
Season the mixture with ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley (or other herbs like dill, tarragon, basil, or cilantro) to the bowl.
Whisk these dressing ingredients together until they become creamy and well-combined.
Step 2: Combine Tuna with Dressing
Drain 2 cans of white albacore tuna in water.
Add the tuna to the prepared dressing.
Use a fork to break up any large chunks of tuna until the mixture has a consistent texture.
Step 3: Add Vegetables
Chop 2-3 stalks of celery into small pieces, aiming for about ¼ to ⅓ cup of chopped celery.
Finely chop about 2 tablespoons of red onion.
Add both the chopped celery and red onion into the bowl with the tuna and dressing mixture.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 4: Adjust Seasoning
Taste the tuna salad and adjust the seasoning as needed.
You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Garnish the mixture with additional chopped parsley if desired.
Step 5: Assemble Tuna Salad Sandwich
To make a tuna salad sandwich, take your favorite bread and place a couple of pieces of lettuce on one slice.
Add a couple of large scoops of the tuna salad on top of the lettuce.
Top with another slice of bread.
For a nicely presented sandwich, cut it in half and serve immediately.
