Directions

Whisk mayo, white miso, white wine vinegar, a pinch of brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth; set the dressing aside.
Rinse and dry the celery and chives; trim the celery and dice it into small pieces.
Drain the tuna can; flake the tuna into the bowl with the dressing and mix to combine into a salad.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast under a hot oven until lightly browned, or toast in a toaster if preferred.
Halve the grape tomatoes lengthwise and chop the chives into small pieces to scatter later.
Spread the tuna salad evenly over the toasted bread, then top with tomatoes, chives, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Transfer the prepared toast to plates and serve right away, dividing between two portions.

Two tips

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to one day; cover and store the tuna salad separately from the bread.
For a different crunch, swap sesame seeds for chopped nuts you have on hand or add a dash of rice vinegar to brighten flavors.
