Tuna & Green Olive Sandwich Spread image

A very easy sandwich spread you can whip up in a few minutes. It can be used right away; however, the flavor is much better if you let it sit for about half an hour in the refrigerator. I love this on toasted bread with lettuce.

Provided by Shana Shameer

Categories     Appetizers - Starters     Breads-Breakfast-Brunch     Fish & Seafood     Salads     Snacks and Savories     Wraps & Sandwiches

Time 11m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cans (150 gms, each) Tuna - use Flakes in water
3-4 Tbsp Good quality - Mayonnaise (see notes)
1/2 tsp Mild mustard (I use Mild American Mustard)
1 Shallot, minced finely
2 tsp Dill (dill weed) , freshly chopped
1/4 tsp Black pepper powder / course grain
1/8 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Paprika ( use regular paprika - not the smoked or hot variety)
As needed Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
As needed Preferred sandwich bread (I use large white slices of speciality sandwich bread

Steps:

  • Drain water from the canned tuna and add to a bowl.
  • Add 3-4 Tbsp Mayonnaise. You can add more or less according to preference. (See notes)
  • Stir the tuna well, so that it becomes easily spreadable.
  • Add the mustard and minced shallots.
  • Use a fork to mix and stir the tuna to get it more smooth and spreadable. I like it only slightly chunky. If you want it extremely smooth, mix further.
  • Once the texture is to your liking, add in the freshly chopped dill, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir till thoroughly incorporated.
  • Chill the tuna spread for at least 30 minutes in the fridge for best results. The filling tastes better chilled.
  • To assemble: Shred the lettuce (rinsed and dried using a salad spinner or on kitchen paper).
  • For each sandwich, apply a thin layer of Mayo on both slices of Un-toasted bread. Spread a generous layer of chilled tuna filling on one slice and top with plenty of shredded lettuce. Place the second slice over the lettuce and use a baking scraper to press it down, to prevent finger impressions.
  • Cut the sandwich and serve while it is still chilled.
  • if you want to store them wrap in sandwich paper or saran wrap and refrigerate till ready to use.
