AWARD Winning recipe from Taste of Home from Ivy Eresmas. States that this tangy tuna salad gets fun flavor from sweet pickle relish and lots of crunch from apples, celery and walnuts. This recipe is great for non-tuna lovers because the sweetness takes the edge out of the "fishy" flavor of tuna. . .it is more sweet and tangy. I have served this on Hawaiian Sweet Bread and it is FANTASTIC!!!

TUNA SALAD SANDWICH WITH APPLES AND WALNUTS



Tuna Salad Sandwich with Apples and Walnuts image

This dish can be served as a sandwich filling or as a stand-alone salad accompanied by favorite lettuces and veggies. We use canned tuna packed in spring water because it's lighter than tuna packed in oil, and we make sure the apple is tart and crisp. Granny Smith apples are fine, but also Mutsu, Honeycrisp, or any good local crispy, tart apple will do. Add half the dressing at first and see if you need more-it's up to you how well coated you want the tuna and apples to be.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup mayonnaise, homemade (page 284) or store-bought
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 crisp, tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Mutsu or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch cubes
3 small cans (about 18 ounces total) canned tuna in spring water, drained and separated into chunks
6 tablespoons finely diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 slices multi-grain bread

Steps:

  • Toast the walnuts in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, roast the walnuts in a preheated 300°F oven for 10 minutes, or until they smell toasted. Remove the walnuts to a plate and set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, and cider vinegar in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Combine the walnuts, apples, tuna, red onion, and parsley in a bowl. Toss with half the dressing. Add more dressing, if desired.
  • Spread the salad over 4 slices of bread. Top with the other 4 slices. Cut each sandwich in half, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage cook evenly and will make the sandwich easier to eat.
  • If you don't have any apples on hand, you can substitute another fruit, such as pears or grapes. Just be sure to choose a fruit that is sweet and crisp.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as cheese, bacon, or avocado. Get creative and make it your own!
  • Serve the sandwich on a toasted bun or slice of bread. This will help to hold the sandwich together and will make it even more delicious.

Conclusion:

This apple-kraut tuna sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. It's packed with flavor and nutrition, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this sandwich a try!
