Drain the water from 2 cans of tuna by pressing the lid against the tuna.

Add the drained tuna to a mixing bowl and flake it up with a fork.

Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise to the bowl and stir until well incorporated and creamy.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of mild mustard and stir it through.

Add 1 minced shallot to the mixture.

Add freshly chopped dill to the tuna mixture.

Season with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of paprika.

Taste the mixture and adjust flavors as desired.

Chill the tuna filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until cold.

Prepare fresh iceberg lettuce by rinsing and shredding it, ensuring to remove excess water.

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each slice of soft white bread to prevent sogginess.

Add a generous amount of the chilled tuna filling on one slice of bread.

Top with plenty of shredded lettuce.

Place another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.

Use a thin cutting board to hold down the bread while cutting the sandwich.
