A delightful Mediterranean-inspired tuna salad sandwich, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice to create the dressing.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, red onion, mayonnaise, and black pepper. Mix well.
Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and olives finely for a more even distribution of flavors.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Toast the bread just before assembling to keep it warm and crispy.
Place a lettuce leaf on four slices of toasted bread.
Ensure the lettuce is dry to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Evenly distribute the tuna mixture over the lettuce leaves.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread to complete the sandwiches.
Press gently to secure the sandwich layers together.
Serve the sandwiches immediately and enjoy.
Pair with a light side salad or soup for a complete meal.
