Ingredients
- 1 5 oz can of tuna, drained
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise add more to taste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard optional
- 3 tbsp finely chopped red onion optional
- 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 1 tsp lemon or lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices of white or wheat sandwich bread crusts removed
- Fresh baby lettuce leaves
- 12 cherry tomatoes

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the tuna, mayo, Dijon mustard (if using), chopped red onion, parsley, and lemon or lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mash with a fork until well combined.
- Trim the crusts off the bread slices for that classic tea sandwich look. (Lightly butter the bread if you’d like.)
- Spread a thin layer of tuna filling onto half the bread slices.
- Cut each sandwich into quarters (either squares or triangles).
- Add a baby lettuce leaf on top, then cover with the remaining bread slices. Use a toothpick to gently secure a cherry tomato on top of each sandwich.
- Arrange your sandwiches on a platter. These are best served chilled or at room temp.
