4.7 from 7 reviews

Tuna salad is as personal as matzah balls, but I’ve written a recipe for my ideal tuna salad sandwich.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1-2 sandwiches

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 can tuna
  • 3 Tbsp mayo (Best Foods/Hellman’s)
  • 1 rib celery
  • 1 Tbsp dill relish
  • squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • fresh chopped dill, to taste
  • fresh chopped parsley, to taste
  • salt and pepper

To serve:

  • caraway rye bread/Jewish Rye
  • crisp lettuce leaves
  • thinly sliced cucumber

Instructions

  1. Drain your tuna, transfer it to a bowl and mash it very finely with a fork. Add the mayo, celery, relish, lemon juice, dill, and parsley and mix until well incorporated. Taste and modify as desired, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  2. Serve on rye bread with lettuce and thinly sliced cucumber. An extra schmear of mayo on the bread is always welcome.
