Ingredients
  

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 small celery stalk, finely chopped

1 tablespoon red onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon pickles or relish (optional for extra flavor)

Salt and pepper, to taste

6 small slices of whole-grain bread

Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish

1 tablespoon olive oil or softened butter (for toasting)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), and Dijon mustard. Add the finely chopped celery, red onion, and pickles or relish (if using) to the mix. Using a fork, thoroughly combine all ingredients until smooth and well-blended. Season generously with salt and pepper.

    Cut the Bread: Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut each slice of whole-grain bread into circles. Aim for about 2-3 circles per slice, varying based on the size of your cutter.

      Toast the Bread Circles: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil or melt the butter. Once hot, gently place the bread circles in the skillet. Toast for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a golden-brown color and a crispy texture. Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack or plate.

        Assemble the Mini Toasts: After the bread circles have cooled, use a spoon to place a generous dollop of the prepared tuna salad onto the center of each toast circle. You can spread it evenly or create a lovely mound for visual appeal.

          Garnish and Serve: For a vibrant touch, finish each mini toast with a sprinkle of freshly chopped dill or parsley. Arrange your delightful Mini Tuna Salad Toast Circles neatly on a serving platter for a beautiful presentation.

            Enjoy: Serve these irresistible bites immediately as an elegant appetizer for guests or as a satisfying snack perfect for any occasion!
