LINDA'S TUNA AND OLIVE SANDWICH (SANDWICHES) OR FINGER ROLLS



Linda's Tuna and Olive Sandwich (Sandwiches) or Finger Rolls image

This is one of my all time FAVORITE sandwiches. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Onions and olives go together well with the mayo in this recipe... YUMMO! The Finger Roll recipe is GREAT around the holidays and for baby and bridal showers, graduations, weddings, parties, and family get togethers. Just omit the lettuce if making the Finger Rolls. Each can of tuna will make 3-4 finger rolls, depending on how full you make them, and how big the rolls are. You can double or triple this recipe, according to how many Finger Rolls you need.

Tips for Making the Perfect Tuna and Olive Tapenade Tea Sandwich:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flaky tuna, briny olives, and flavorful tapenade will make all the difference in the taste of your sandwich.
  • Don't overmix the tuna salad. Overmixing will make the tuna salad dry and tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the wet ingredients is best. Look for a bread that is slightly toasted for extra flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to the sandwich. Be sure to use softened butter so that it spreads easily.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill add a nice pop of flavor to the sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. Tuna salad sandwiches are best when they are served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

The tuna and olive tapenade tea sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch option. It is perfect for a quick bite on the go or a light lunch at home. With its simple ingredients and flavorful combination of tuna, olives, and tapenade, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
