Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 5-ounce can white meat tuna
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1/4 cup Greek yogurt plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or 1/2 ripe avocado; see Step 3)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 chopped hard boiled egg (optional)
4 slices bread, for serving (like artisan, no knead, whole wheat, sandwich, or sourdough)

Steps:

  • Drain the tuna. Place it in a bowl and use a fork to break apart any large clumps.
  • Finely chop the celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
  • For Classic Tuna Salad, use a fork to mix together the tuna and chopped vegetables with the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt. Add shredded Parmesan if desired (it really steps it up a notch!). For Tuna Salad with Egg, add chopped hard boiled egg. For Avocado Tuna Salad, use 1/2 chopped ripe avocado instead of the Greek yogurt and mayo, and skip the Parmesan.
  • Lightly toast the bread, if desired. Spoon the tuna salad onto the bread and serve.

TUNA SALAD SANDWICH AND/OR EASY SUMMER FARE



Tuna Salad Sandwich and/or Easy Summer Fare image

This was another of my favorite noon hour fares in my working days. Most Family Style Restaurants have it on their menu. Specially in Summer. Many list it as cold Plate or Tuna or Chicken Salad Cold Plate. Normally served with Crackers and/or Dinner Rolls It's Light. It's Healthy. And, So Pleasing to the Palate. I put as much Celery and Onion in my Tuna Salad as I do Tuna. I prefer Hellman's mayo over Miracle Whip, But let your preference dictate. I have recently enjoyed adding a little dice Jalapeno for a Bit of a Bite. If I had, had a Tomato, a slice or wedge or two would have

TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES



Tuna Salad Sandwiches image

Inspired by Iranians' love affair with pickles and fresh herbs, this tuna salad combines the crunch and tang of dill pickles with a mix of herbs. The cheerful addition of potato chips celebrates relaxed summer lunches - and tastes great any time of year. Ciabatta rolls and classic salted chips are especially good here, but you can use your favorite loaves and chips, or skip the bread and just serve the tuna salad with chips for scooping.
