Tuna Salad Americana: a delicious, protein-packed treat that’s quick to make and perfect for any meal!

1

Start by draining the canned tuna in a colander to remove excess liquid, about 1 minute.

2

In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, finely chopped red onion, and diced dill pickle.

3

Add the mustard, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined, about 2 minutes.

4

Using green leaves of lettuce, lay them down as a base on each slice of bread.

5

Spoon the tuna mixture generously over the lettuce. Optionally, add another slice of bread on top to make a sandwich.

6

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving, if desired.
