Tuna Salad Sandwich on Whole Wheat

Ingredients

• Canned tuna in water 5 oz
• Whole wheat bread 2 slices
• Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
• Lettuce 1 leaf
• Tomato slices 2 slices

Method

1. Prepare the tuna. Open the canned tuna and drain the water completely. Place the tuna in a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to break up the tuna into smaller flakes for easier mixing.
   Tip: Make sure to drain the tuna well so your salad isn't watery.
2. Mix tuna with mayonnaise. Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the flaked tuna. Stir gently until the mayonnaise is evenly mixed and coats the tuna. This will add creaminess and flavor to your salad.
   Tip: If you prefer a lighter sandwich, start with half a tablespoon of mayonnaise and add more if needed.
3. Prepare the bread. Take two slices of whole wheat bread. Optionally, you can toast the bread lightly to add crunch and prevent sogginess from the tuna salad.
   Tip: Toasting is optional but recommended for texture contrast.
4. Assemble the sandwich. Place the lettuce leaf on one slice of bread. Spread the tuna salad evenly over the lettuce. Add the tomato slices on top of the tuna. Cover with the second slice of bread.
   Tip: Make sure to use fresh lettuce and ripe tomato slices for the best taste.
5. Serve and enjoy. Cut the sandwich diagonally or in half as preferred. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
   Tip: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad for a complete meal.

Pro tips

• Drain tuna thoroughly to avoid a soggy sandwich.
