240g
6 tbsp pickle relish
90g
2 tbsp mustard
30g
1 cup celery
100g
1/2 cup onion
80g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1/2 cup greek yogurt
120g
10 cups arugula
20g
2 tbsp mustard
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Tuna Salad:
- In a medium bowl, combine the tuna fish with 4 tbsp (60g) mustard, pickle relish, celery, onion, Greek yogurt, and coriander leaves.
- Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the tuna salad has a creamy texture.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out the 16 slices of multi-grain bread on a clean surface.
- Evenly spread the prepared tuna salad mixture over 8 slices of the bread.
- On top of the tuna salad, place 1 1/2 slices of tomato for each sandwich (adjust if necessary to equally distribute the 12 slices).
- Add a handful of arugula (about 1 cup per sandwich) on top of the tomato slices.
3. Top and Serve:
- Spread 1/2 tbsp (7.5g) mustard on each of the remaining 8 slices of bread.
- Place a mustard-coated bread slice on top of each assembled sandwich, mustard side down, to complete the sandwiches.
4. Cut and Enjoy:
- Cut each sandwich diagonally for a classic presentation, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Dijon-cilantro tuna salad sandwich on whole grain bread!

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality tuna for the best flavor and texture.

- Toast the whole grain bread slightly for added crunch and to prevent sogginess.

- Customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of mustard and cilantro according to your taste.

- If you prefer, you can substitute Greek yogurt with mayonnaise for a richer taste.

- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the tuna salad mixture for an extra burst of freshness.

- For a lower-carb option, serve the tuna salad in lettuce wraps instead of bread.

With the perfect combination of flavors and textures, this Dijon-cilantro tuna salad sandwich is both delectable and nourishing. The key is in balancing the tanginess from the mustard and pickle relish with the freshness of the vegetables and the creaminess of Greek yogurt. Don't forget to use whole grain bread to make it even healthier. This recipe proves that nutritious eating can be delicious and satisfying.
