Ingredients
  • 1 can (5 oz) Canned Tuna in Water or Oil, drained
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Red Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 2 Bread Slices
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or Olive Oil

Prepare the Tuna Mayo

In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, red onion, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Tip: Don't overmix, or the tuna will become mushy.

Prepare the Toast

Lightly butter one side of each bread slice (or brush with olive oil). This will help them get golden brown and crispy.

Grill the Toast

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the bread slices butter-side down onto the hot surface. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn the bread.

Assemble and Serve

Remove the grilled toast from the skillet. Spread the tuna mayo mixture evenly over the toast. Serve immediately and enjoy!
