Tuna Salad Sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients

• Canned tuna in water 4 oz
• Whole wheat bread 2 slices
• Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
• Celery 1/4 cup
• Lettuce 1 leaf

Method

1. Prepare the tuna. Open the canned tuna and drain the water completely. Use a fork to flake the tuna into small pieces in a mixing bowl.
   Tip: Draining well prevents the salad from becoming watery.
2. Chop the celery. Wash the celery stalk and chop it finely into small pieces. Add the chopped celery to the bowl with the tuna.
   Tip: Chopping celery finely helps distribute its crunch evenly in the salad.
3. Mix the salad. Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the tuna and celery mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
   Tip: Add mayonnaise gradually if you prefer a creamier or lighter salad.
4. Prepare the bread. Lay two slices of whole wheat bread on a clean surface. If you like, you can toast them lightly to add crunch.
   Tip: Toasting bread adds texture but is optional.
5. Assemble the sandwich. Place the lettuce leaf on one slice of bread. Spoon the tuna salad evenly over the lettuce. Top with the second slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
   Tip: Using lettuce prevents the bread from getting soggy.
6. Serve. Cut the sandwich diagonally if desired and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
   Tip: Pair with fresh fruit or a light soup for a balanced meal.

Pro tips

• Use a fork to gently mix tuna and mayonnaise to keep the texture light.
