📖 Instructions

First, let's toast that bagel! Pop it in your toaster oven or regular oven until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Don't burn it, though... we want that perfect golden-brown color. Mmmmmm!
Now, get your tuna salad ready! In a medium bowl, gently mix together your canned tuna (make sure it's drained!), mayonnaise (or your preferred dressing), celery (finely chopped), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Don't be shy with the pepper!
Once your bagel is perfectly toasted, it's time for the assembly! Spread a generous layer of your delicious tuna salad evenly onto one half of the bagel. Don't be stingy! You deserve a hearty amount.
Now for the important part: Place a few lettuce leaves on top of the tuna salad for added freshness (and crunch!). It adds a beautiful texture contrast, trust me.
Gently place the other half of the bagel on top, completing your creation. Admire your handiwork for a moment; it is absolutely beautiful!
Carefully cut the bagel in half and enjoy your fabulous, satisfying bagel with tuna salad. I hope you have a wonderful time enjoying it! Don't forget to share a photo, okay?
