Dijon-Cilantro Tuna Salad on Whole Grain Bread

While most the rest of the ingredients the red onion, the celery, the mustard are all things you normally throw in to a tuna salad, the cilantro adds a fresh, green note to the whole dish, and it's really lovely.  Some unfortunate, misguided people don't like cilantro. If you're one of those, you could try fresh parsley in this instead.

Yield:

Makes about 6 sandwiches

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
  2. 6 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  3. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  4. 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  5. 2 6-ounce cans solid albacore tuna packed in water, drained
  6. 1 cup chopped celery
  7. 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  8. 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  9. 12 slices whole grain bread, toasted
  10. 12 slices ripe tomato
  11. Arugula leaves

Directions

  1. Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Mix in tuna. Add celery, onion, and cilantro; mix well. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes.
  2. Spoon 1/2 cup tuna on each of 6 bread slices. Top with tomato slices, arugula, and bread slices. Cut sandwiches in half.
