Introduction:
This tuna sandwich has become an absolute favorite in our household! My son and husband have tuna sandwiches for lunch most days, but they both said that this was the best one I’ve ever made. What makes it so special? There’s a secret ingredient that elevates the flavor and makes it a total game-changer. And the best part? It’s so simple!
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of tuna (drained)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup sweet relish (the secret ingredient!)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Bread (your choice of sandwich bread, grilled for a crunchy finish)
- Cheese slices (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Lettuce and tomato slices (optional, for freshness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the tuna mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped red onion, chopped celery, and sweet relish. Mix everything together until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast your bread of choice in a pan or toaster. If you want extra flavor, you can grill the bread with a little butter.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread the tuna mixture evenly on one slice of bread. If you’re adding cheese, place a slice on top of the tuna mixture. Add lettuce and tomato if desired.
- Serve and enjoy: Top with the second slice of bread, cut your sandwich in half, and serve with a side of your favorite soup, like the tomato soup in the picture!
Secret Tip: The sweet relish adds a perfect touch of sweetness and tang that takes your tuna sandwich from ordinary to extraordinary. Try it out—it’s a total game-changer!
