TUNA-SALAD SANDWICH, JULIA CHILD STYLE
This was one of Julia Child's favorite dishes for a working lunch. For decades, Julia was on the road more than she was home and, when she returned to her beloved kitchen, she craved simple foods. For Julia, the important ingredients for this sandwich were the tuna (it had to be packed in oil) and the mayo (she preferred Hellmann's). Her longtime assistant, Stephanie Hersh, said, "The rest was up for grabs." Make it with capers, cornichons and chopped onion, a squirt of lemon juice and some herbs, serve it open-face on an English muffin or between slices of white bread, and you'll have Julia's midday signature.

Steps:
- Prepare the tuna salad: Using a fork, mash the tuna with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise. Add the celery, as much onion and chopped cornichons as you'd like, and the capers or olives, and toss to combine. Add a squirt of lemon juice, some salt (go easy at first) and pepper. Taste and see if you'd like more mayo, onion or cornichons. Add more lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chives or parsley, if you're using either. (Makes 1 1/2 cups.) The tuna salad is good to go as soon as it's made, but it's even better after a couple of hours in the fridge.
- When you're ready to serve, spread the muffins or bread with a little mayonnaise. If you're using English muffins, do what Julia did: Make open-face sandwiches. Put a leaf of lettuce on each muffin half, top with tuna salad and finish with tomato and onion. If you're using sliced bread, prepare traditional sandwiches: Top each of 2 slices of bread with 1 piece lettuce, tomato and onion, then spread over the tuna and finish with remaining onion, tomato, lettuce and bread.
Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for canned tuna that is packed in water and low in sodium. Solid white albacore tuna is a good choice as it has a mild flavor and firm texture.
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the tuna salad is best. Whole wheat or multigrain bread are good options.
- Add moisture: If the tuna salad is too dry, add a little mayonnaise or yogurt. You can also add some chopped celery or cucumber for extra crunch and moisture.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Make it fun: Cut the sandwich into fun shapes with a cookie cutter or serve it on a colorful plate with some fruit or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad sandwiches are a quick, easy, and delicious lunch option for kids of all ages. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat more fish. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can make a tuna salad sandwich that your kids will love.
