TUNA SALAD SANDWICH WITH A BITE!



Tuna Salad Sandwich With a Bite! image

A wonderful change from regular tuna salad sandwich. This is the only way we do it in our house! Note: I didn't notice until March 2010 (took me 8 years) that the ingredient horseradish had somehow defaulted to horseradish sauce. There are many great reviews here from people who used horseradish sauce, so don't be afraid to try it. I have corrected the recipe as it really does call for prepared horseradish, which is much hotter.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (6 ounce) can albacore tuna, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish, well drained
3 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
3 tablespoons sweet onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper
4 teaspoons butter, softened

  • Spread the tuna mixture on the buttered side of 4 slices.

  • Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make your tuna salad ahead of time: This allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more delicious sandwich.
  • Use good-quality mayonnaise: A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the overall taste of your tuna salad. Look for a mayonnaise made with simple, high-quality ingredients.
  • Add some crunch: Celery, red onion, and pickles are all great additions to tuna salad that add a bit of crunch and flavor.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add some salt and pepper to your tuna salad to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dill, to your liking.
  • Serve on a good bread: A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat, will hold up well to the tuna salad and prevent it from getting soggy.
