Step 1

Finely dice the red onion, celery, and pickled cucumber.Mince the parsley. Drain the liquid from the canned tuna. Add all the prepared ingredients to a medium bowl.

Step 2

Mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and parsley until thoroughly combined.I prefer to leave the salad for 30-60 minutes (or longer) for all the flavors to meld before tasting it and adjusting any flavors. However, if you plan to use it immediately, taste and adjust the salad now.

Step 3

This salad will be enough for 6-8 sandwiches. Add 12-16 slices of bread and 12-16 lettuce leaves or other leafy greens. Optionally, toast the bread slices.

Step 4

Place some lettuce or salad leaves on the bread (this will stop it from getting soggy). Add 1/4 to 1/3 of the tuna salad onto the leaves. Add more leafy greens, then top with the second slice of bread. Enjoy!
