The Best Tuna Sandwich

"Years ago, there was a deli in the town I worked and everyday faithfully, I would stop there for the Tuna sandwich (which was the best ever!) I became friends with the older lady that always worked the deli and she gave me the recipe. I will never forget what she told me.."The more colors in your Tuna, the better the flavor" sadly, the deli went out of business, but I never forgot her recipe. This tuna has lots of veggies in it, but if you dice them very small, it's so good! Remember, Tuna is a finicky meal.. too much mayo makes it watery and too little makes it dry and fishy.. be sure to use your best judgement and liking. (This recipe makes a lot) you can lessen it"

directions

  • Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
  • dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
  • I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
  • add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
  • Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
  • Hope you enjoy & agree this is one of the best Tuna Sandwiches!

  1. I halved this recipe and got 3 nice sandwiches. The peppers and pickles made this special. I really enjoyed the flavor of the tuna made this way. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2011.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I joined RZ in 2007 while home on maternity leave after my son was born. I admit, I had no clue how to cook or what to cook! My Mom (who is 100% Italian) and my Grandmother who also lives with my Family did all of the cooking so I never did it or learned. Everyone I knew just went crazy for the dishes that my Mom or Grandma made and being in my 30's I was a bit embarassed to admit, I had no idea how to cook like they do. I decided to experiment with cooking on my own and this site is absolutely my favorite for recipes! By Nov 2008 my second child, a daughter was born. She was born disabled so I am now a full time home Mom and I have to admit, cooking is now something that helps soothe me, gets me through difficult times and something that I just enjoy so much and just 2 years ago, never knew how! I have RZ to thank and all it's wonderful members who share recipes! I eventually would like to gather more of my Mom & Grandmother's recipes and share them with all of you! PS- A very special thank you to Kittencal who has been wonderful to speak to and share great recipes!
