Terrific Tuna Salad Sandwiches

Terrific Tuna Salad Sandwiches
Even when we offer several choices of sandwiches, tuna salad is always a bestseller. People can’t
seem to get enough of this classic. Our version starts with the basics—tuna (we use white
albacore, but chunk light works just as well), celery, and just a little mayonnaise. For just a touch
of sweetness with an added crunch, we stir in pickle relish or red pepper relish. On top go butter
pickles for a distinctive finishing touch.

1 can (12 ounces) tuna,
drained and squeezed dry
1 rib celery, diced small
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon pickle or red pepper relish
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black
pepper, to taste
8 slices farmhouse white bread, toasted
1 cup lettuce leaves
8 tomato slices
16 bread and butter pickle slices

■ Place the tuna in a small mixing bowl.
Gently mash with a fork to break into small
pieces. Add the celery, onion, relish, and
lemon juice. Toss together. Add the
mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to
combine.
■ Top 4 slices of the bread with the lettuce
and 2 tomato slices. Season with salt and
pepper. Spread a portion of the tuna salad
over the tomatoes. Top with 4 slices of sweet
pickles and the remaining slices of bread.
