KITTENCAL'S TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES
This is a simple recipe but big on flavor and it even tastes better if left in the fridge a few hours to blend the flavors so I suggest to do that --- it's wonderful with a slice of tomato on top of the tuna and served between two thick slices of toasted whole grain bread or in a pita bread or served on a plate on top of a bed of lettuce --- I sometimes add in some chopped small sweet gherkin pickles or yum yum pickles also --- feel free to add in some cooked macaroni pasta and serve on a plate --- please only fresh lemon juice for this bottled is just not the same, I have left the mustard powder and Tabasco as optional I most always add it in it takes this salad to another level :)

KITTENCAL'S EGG OR TUNA AND OLIVE SALAD SANDWICHES
This is so good you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the bowl for a taste! ---it's great in a sandwich stuffed in a pita or scooped on a large lettuce leaf, I have served this many times for a luncheon get together and everyone loves it! --- the amounts listed are usually what I use for 8 eggs but the exact measurements do not really matter just use whatever you wish for the amount of eggs you make, I purchase the pimento-stuffed olives for this and I say the more you use the better! after slicing the olives make certain to hand-squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible --- plan ahead slightly the mixture needs to chill for a few hours before using.

Here's how we do it: open-faced with crusty toasted bread, melty cheese, capers, cornichons, Dijon mustard, and plenty of seasoning. On a chilly fall day, nothing tastes better.
