1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
6 slices of whole grain bread

Notes

Choose high-quality tuna: Look for high-quality canned or fresh tuna that is packed in water or olive oil. Drain the tuna well before mixing it with the other ingredients.

Choose the right bread: Use bread that is sturdy enough to hold the filling and has a nice texture. A crusty baguette, sourdough bread, or a whole wheat wrap are all good options.

Season to taste: Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, or more lime juice if desired.

Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will add texture and prevent it from getting soggy. You can toast it in a toaster, on a grill pan, or in the oven.

Assemble the sandwich: Spread the tuna filling on one side of the bread, and add some lettuce, tomato, or other veggies if desired. Top with the other slice of bread, and cut the sandwich in half.

Serve and enjoy: Serve the sandwich immediately or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil for later. Enjoy it for lunch, a quick dinner, or a snack on-the-go.
