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.
TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE FOR TWO
I am posting this mainly to let other singles know the basic ingredient measurements, and also so I don't forget them, again! This recipe is a composite of several I found on line, tweaked to suit my tastes. The basic idea is from Cooks.com. I like this one because it can be baked in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 350, or in a saucepan on top of the stove. Less pots to wash!! Any veggie of choice can be used, or none. Bread crumbs, chips or whatever could be the topping. When camping I don't use a topping. Use whatever spices you desire.

Steps:
- Cook noodles, drain.
- While noodles are cooking, prepare soup according to instructions on can.
- Turn on Broiler part of oven.
- While noodles are draining, place soup and all other ingredients, except crumbs in oven proof pan. I use an all stainless sauce pan so I can brown the topping all in one pot.
- Add noodles to other ingredients.
- Spread bread crumbs evenly over all and place pan in oven under broiler for 5-7 minutes until browned.
THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH
Years ago, there was a deli in the town I worked and everyday faithfully, I would stop there for the Tuna sandwich (which was the best ever!) I became friends with the older lady that always worked the deli and she gave me the recipe. I will never forget what she told me.."The more colors in your Tuna, the better the flavor" sadly, the deli went out of business, but I never forgot her recipe. This tuna has lots of veggies in it, but if you dice them very small, it's so good! Remember, Tuna is a finicky meal.. too much mayo makes it watery and too little makes it dry and fishy.. be sure to use your best judgement and liking. (This recipe makes a lot) you can lessen it

Steps:
- Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
- dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
- I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
- add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
- Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
- Hope you enjoy & agree this is one of the best Tuna Sandwiches!

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in brine.
- If you don't have any mayonnaise on hand, you can make your own by whisking together one egg yolk, one tablespoon of Dijon mustard, one teaspoon of lemon juice, and one cup of olive oil until thickened.
- For a vegetarian version of this sandwich, you can substitute chickpeas or tofu for the tuna.
- If you want to make this sandwich ahead of time, you can prepare the tuna salad and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you're ready to serve, simply assemble the sandwiches and enjoy.
- For a more flavorful sandwich, try grilling the bread before assembling.
- If you like your sandwiches on the saucy side, you can add a drizzle of olive oil or dressing to the tuna salad before assembling the sandwiches.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad sandwiches are a quick and easy lunch or dinner option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying sandwich that the whole family will love.
