Ingredients

  • 1 (5 oz) can of tuna in water, drained

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 slices of whole wheat flatbread or thin rye bread

  • 2 slices of tomato

  • 1 handful of fresh spinach or arugula

 

  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for grilling)


Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy.

  • Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat.

  • Butter or lightly oil the outsides of the flatbread slices.

  • Spread the tuna mixture on one slice of bread.

  • Top with fresh spinach or arugula and slices of tomato.

  • Place the second slice of bread on top.

  • Grill the sandwich for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing down gently, until golden and crispy.
