Today, I am sharing the recipe for one of my all-time favorite sandwiches – Tuna Salad Sandwich.
I like tuna but find it needs a bit of “spark” to give it flavor. There are a number of ingredients in this sandwich recipe but each one contributes to the flavor complexity. I have used the smallest can of tuna on the market in my area but this recipe is easily doubled should you choose to use a larger can. The 85g size of can makes one big, thick sandwich or two more moderately-sized sandwiches. I hope you enjoy it.
