Ingredients
- 1 can tuna, drained

Instructions

- Place two slices of toasted bread on a clean cutting board or plate.
- Evenly divide and spread the tuna mixture onto the two bread slices, ensuring complete coverage.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining toasted bread slices.
- Cut the sandwiches diagonally to create two triangular halves for easier eating.

Tips
- Drain the tuna thoroughly to prevent a watery sandwich. Use a fine-mesh strainer and press gently to remove excess liquid.
- Choose Greek yogurt for a protein boost and creamy texture that perfectly mimics traditional mayo.
- For extra crunch, consider adding finely diced red onions or pickles alongside the celery.
- Use fresh, high-quality whole grain bread for maximum nutrition and flavor.
- Toast the bread until it's golden brown to add a delightful crispness to your sandwich.
- Experiment with different mustards like spicy brown or whole grain for varied flavor profiles.
- If you're meal prepping, prepare the tuna mixture in advance and store separately from the bread to maintain optimal texture.
- For a lower-carb option, serve the tuna mixture on a bed of mixed greens instead of bread.
- Season generously but taste as you go - the Dijon mustard already adds significant flavor.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the perfect balance of crisp bread and creamy tuna filling.
