PEANUT BUTTER AND TUNA
I swear its good. I eat it at least once a week and have to stop myself from eating a second one. They are sooooo good. My kids like it with ritz cracker rather than bread. Amounts are approximate, if you want more or less of anything, do it. I just posted a typical serving size of each item, I never measure.

Steps:
- Toast bread if desired. I like it lightly toasted.
- Meanwhile, mix the tuna and the mayo together to make tuna salad.
- Spread half the peanut butter on one side of one slice of bread and top with tuna salad.
- Spread one side of the other slice of bread with the remaining peanut butter and place it over the tuna, peanut butter side down.
- Cut in half if desired and enjoy.
- You can mix things up a little by adding some relish to the tuna or add some crunch with slices of cucumber (cucumber and peanut butter is another favorite sandwich), onion, or diced waterchestnuts.

TUNA CRUNCH SANDWICHES
A tuna salad and potato chip sandwich may not be quite as classic a pairing as peanut butter and jelly, but it is, anecdotally, many middle-schoolers' first forays into experimenting with flavors and textures, and no less delicious. Beyond crunch, chips also add stability to the sandwich, holding the tuna salad in place as you eat. There's no wrong way to make the sandwich, but seasoning tuna salad with red onion and celery, plenty of olive oil and little lemon juice, and using kettle-style salt and vinegar potato chips are especially alluring. There's the word "optional" next to the most optional ingredients, but consider every ingredient other than the tuna, bread and chips to be adaptable according to your own taste (or how your mom made it).

Steps:
- Open the can of tuna, leaving the lid in place after opening it. Invert the whole can over the sink and press the lid into the tuna firmly to squeeze out as much excess water or oil as you can. (Be careful not to cut your fingers on any sharp edges). Transfer the tuna to a medium bowl.
- Wash your hands well, then grab the boiled egg and squeeze it through your fingers into the bowl with the tuna. Add the celery, olive oil, onion, herbs (if using), mayonnaise, relish (if using) and lemon juice. Using a fork, gently fold together all the ingredients, trying to leave the tuna in relatively large chunks. Grab a few chips and, using your hands, crumble them into the bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and fold again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste - more salt, pepper and lemon juice if it tastes bland, and more olive oil or mayonnaise if it tastes dry.
- When ready for lunch, spread each slice of bread generously with mayonnaise. Place lettuce on each bottom slice of bread, then top each with half of the tuna salad mixture. Add a generous handful of potato chips on top of each (more than seems reasonable), then close the sandwiches. Press down firmly so the chips break and embed themselves into the tuna salad and the bread. Cut into triangles and serve with extra chips on the side.
Tips:
- For the best peanut butter and tuna sandwich, use high-quality ingredients. Look for tuna that is packed in water and peanut butter that is made with only peanuts and salt.
- If you don't have mayonnaise on hand, you can use Greek yogurt or mashed avocado instead.
- To add a little crunch to your sandwich, add some chopped celery, onion, or pickles.
- For a more flavorful sandwich, try using a flavored peanut butter, such as honey roasted or chocolate peanut butter.
- If you're feeling adventurous, you can even try adding a slice of bacon or cheese to your sandwich.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter and tuna sandwiches are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of ingredients to choose from, you can customize your sandwich to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give the peanut butter and tuna sandwich a try.
