Preheat oven to 375F. Line 1 large baking sheet (or 2 small) with parchment paper.
In bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, celery, garlic, 2 tbsp sliced chives, dill, Dijon, hot pepper sauce,
lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
Divide tuna mixture onto toast slices and arrange onto prepared baking sheets, leaving lots of space
