- 1 tsp sugar (to balance the flavors)
- A pinch of black pepper (enhances aroma)
- 1/2 onion (finely diced, soak in cold water to remove pungency)
- 1 can of tuna (drained, for a savory base)
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise (for a creamy texture)
- 2 Tbsp mustard (for a zesty kick)

- 1/2 onion (finely diced, soak in cold water to remove pungency)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the onion for our sandwich filling. Finely dice the onion. If you find it too pungent, soak it in cold water for about 5 minutes to mellow its sharp flavor. Afterward, drain it thoroughly in a sieve to remove excess water.
Step 2
Next, we’ll prepare the tuna. It’s important to drain the oil from the canned tuna completely using a sieve. This step ensures your sandwich won’t be too greasy and will have a cleaner, more refined taste.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious tuna filling! In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Add the well-drained diced onion. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Feel free to adjust the sugar or mustard to your preference.
Step 4
Toast the bread slices lightly using a toaster. This gives the sandwich a lovely crisp exterior while keeping the inside soft, enhancing the overall texture. Be careful not to burn the bread.
Step 5
Place the clean, patted-dry lettuce leaves onto the toasted bread slices. Lettuce adds freshness and a satisfying crunch, and it also acts as a barrier to prevent the filling from making the bread soggy. Make sure to pat the lettuce dry after washing.
Step 6
We’re almost done! Generously spoon the prepared tuna mixture onto the lettuce leaves. Arrange thinly sliced apple pieces on top of the tuna filling. Finally, top with the remaining slice of bread to complete your apple tuna sandwich. Cut in half and enjoy your delicious creation!
