Chef notes
- Use soft, fresh white bread for clean, neat sandwich bites. - Drain the tuna well to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. - Chill the tuna salad for 15–20 minutes before assembling for easier handling. - Use crisp lettuce leaves for a fresh texture and a nice contrast. - Cut the sandwiches with a sharp knife for clean, even edges. - Secure each bite with a toothpick and cherry tomato for an attractive presentation. - Assemble shortly before serving to keep the bread soft and fresh.
