Preparation time: 5 mins
Cook time: 0 mins
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 2 thick slices Hovis® Granary bread
- 1 can (approx. 110g–145g) tuna (in spring water or olive oil, drained)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp red onion or spring onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp celery or cucumber, finely diced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Butter
- Handful of fresh crisp lettuce (such as Little Gem or romaine) or rocket
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Tip
Placing lettuce over the buttered bread creates a natural barrier against moisture! It keeps your Granary bread nicely textured and stops that dreaded "soggy sandwich" syndrome, ideal if you're packing lunch for later.Method
Drain the tuna thoroughly. Press out as much excess liquid as possible using the lid. Dry tuna prevents a soggy sandwich.
In a small bowl, flake the tuna with a fork. Stir in the mayonnaise, diced onion, diced celery/cucumber, Dijon mustard (or lemon juice), salt and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of butter over one side of each slice of Hovis Granary bread.
Place the crisp lettuce on top of the buttered side of the bottom slice. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the lettuce.
Top with the second slice of bread, press down gently to anchor the filling and cut diagonally with a sharp serrated knife.
