Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) tuna, well-drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 celery stalk, finely chopped

1 green onion, finely chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried dill (optional, for extra flavor)

4 slices of whole grain bread

Olive oil, for brushing

Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Tuna Salad: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a creamy tuna salad.

    Add Crunch: Fold in the finely chopped celery and green onion into the tuna mixture. Season generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and dried dill (if desired). Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning according to your preference.

      Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out circles from each slice of whole grain bread, aiming for circles approximately 2 inches in diameter.

        Toast the Bread: Lightly brush both sides of each bread circle with olive oil. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy, flipping them halfway for even toasting.

          Assemble the Toasts: Once toasted, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Generously top each circular toast with a spoonful of the prepared tuna salad, spreading it nicely to cover the entire surface.

            Garnish and Serve: For a final touch, sprinkle each mini tuna toast with fresh parsley or dill, enhancing both flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful bites as an appetizer or a tasty snack!
