Ingredients
1/2 can (5 ounces) canned tuna in water, drained

2 tablespoons chopped fresh green onion
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Add the light mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped dill pickle, and green onion to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the cayenne pepper and salt.
Stir all ingredients together until well combined and the tuna is evenly distributed.
Slice the French bread lengthwise and spread the tuna mixture generously on both halves.

Comments
All ingredients are standard stock at every major Charlotte chain—tuna, mayo, mustard, dill pickle, and bread hit Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart without a second trip. At roughly $3–4 per sandwich when using canned tuna and day-old french bread, it's a cheap lunch. The 10-minute time is honest if the tuna is already drained and the ingredients prepped, though a home cook will realistically add 2–3 minutes to chop green onion and assemble. This is a solid weeknight single serving with no reheating needed and no fussy technique, though it's not a family meal and offers no leftovers by design.
