This zesty tuna salad sandwich is a delightful twist on the classic, combining fresh ingredients for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl.
Draining the tuna well ensures the salad isn't watery.
Add the mayonnaise, diced red onion, and chopped cucumber to the bowl.
Chop the vegetables finely for a smoother texture.
Dice the tomato and hard-boiled eggs, then mix them into the bowl.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomato.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring until well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed.
Place a leaf of lettuce on a slice of bread, add a portion of the tuna mixture, and top with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Toast the bread for added crunch.
Top with another slice of bread, cut the sandwich in half, and serve.
Secure the sandwich with a toothpick if needed.
