Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Make the Tuna Salad: Drain canned tuna and place in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, cornichons, tarragon, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Mix until well combined and creamy. Season with black pepper to taste.
  2. Prepare Croissants: Slice large croissants lengthwise to create a pocket. For smaller croissants, gently open them enough to hold the tuna salad. Keep warm for assembly.
  3. Layer Sandwich: Spread a layer of tuna salad on the bottom half of each croissant. Add butter lettuce and tomato. Spoon more tuna salad on top before closing with the other half.
  4. Serve Immediately: Serve the assembled sandwiches right away for the best experience.
