4 servings
- 3 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained well
Ingredient noteTuna is fine during pregnancy in measured amounts. This recipe has about 3.8 oz per serving - keep it to roughly one serving a week if you are using albacore or white tuna, or two to three a week for chunk light.
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
Ingredient noteStore-bought mayonnaise and mayo-based sauces are made with pasteurized eggs, so they are generally fine during pregnancy.
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 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)
- ½ tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 8 slices sandwich bread, toasted
For serving
- 4 leaves romaine or butter lettuce (optional)
- 4 slices tomato (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.
- 2
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl and stir until the tuna is evenly coated.
