Regular canned tuna has a significant amount of added salt. Using unsalted canned tuna in place of regular saves over 300 mg of sodium per sandwich.
Ingredients
(Serves 4)- 2 cans (6 ounces each) unsalted white tuna packed in water, drained
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 8 slices whole-wheat bread
Directions
Put tuna in a small bowl and flake with a fork. Add the celery, lemon juice and mayonnaise and stir well.
To serve, place 1 lettuce leaf on a slice of bread. Top with 1/4 of the tuna mixture and another slice of bread. Repeat to make the other sandwiches. Serve immediately.
