Step 1
To make the tuna salad tip all the ingredients into a bowl, season with a little salt and lots of pepper and use a fork to mash everything together until completely mixed. Will keep covered and chilled for a day.
Step 2
To assemble the sandwiches pile and spread the tuna salad over two slices of the bread. Add the cucumber and lettuce, then spread the remaining slices with the mayonnaise and use them to top the sandwiches.
