Ingredients
- 1 5 oz can tuna in water or oil, drained

- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices sandwich bread white, wheat, sourdough, or your favorite

Instructions
- Make the tuna salad: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, onion (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed and creamy.

- Serve: Slice in half and serve immediately with chips, salad, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise.
- Add chopped dill pickles or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.

- Store leftover tuna salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
