Ingredients
  

For the Tuna Mixture:

  • 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill, chopped

For the Toast:

  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • ½ avocado, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter

Topping Ideas (Optional):

  • Sliced cherry tomatoes
  • Cucumber slices
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Shredded cheese

Instructions
 

  • Toast the Bread: Start by toasting your slices of whole grain bread. For extra flavor, you can brush them lightly with olive oil or spread a thin layer of butter on one side before placing them in the toaster or on a hot skillet. Toast until golden and crispy this adds a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy tuna topping.
  • Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the drained tuna, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir everything together until it’s well-mixed and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If you’re feeling adventurous, add in some fresh parsley or dill for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the tuna mixture onto each piece of toasted whole grain bread. The creamy tuna will perfectly complement the crispy toast, creating a delightful contrast of textures.
  • Optional Toppings: Want to take it to the next level? Add a few optional toppings. Try slicing up some avocado for a creamy, healthy fat boost, or add sliced cherry tomatoes for a pop of color and sweetness. You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes for a bit of heat if you like some spice.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Your tuna on whole grain toast is ready to be enjoyed! Slice it into halves for a quick bite or serve it whole for a satisfying meal.
