1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 stalks celery, finely diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

8 slices sandwich bread, toasted

For serving

4 leaves romaine or butter lettuce (optional)

Instructions

1
Drain the tuna thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible, then transfer to a large mixing bowl and break up any large chunks with a fork.

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl and stir until the tuna is evenly coated.
