1 tablespoon tiny, nonpareil capers
5 anchovy fillets
3 cloves garlic, peeled

TUNA SALAD SANDWICH WITH APPLES AND WALNUTS



Tuna Salad Sandwich with Apples and Walnuts image

This dish can be served as a sandwich filling or as a stand-alone salad accompanied by favorite lettuces and veggies. We use canned tuna packed in spring water because it's lighter than tuna packed in oil, and we make sure the apple is tart and crisp. Granny Smith apples are fine, but also Mutsu, Honeycrisp, or any good local crispy, tart apple will do. Add half the dressing at first and see if you need more-it's up to you how well coated you want the tuna and apples to be.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup mayonnaise, homemade (page 284) or store-bought
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 crisp, tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Mutsu or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch cubes
3 small cans (about 18 ounces total) canned tuna in spring water, drained and separated into chunks
6 tablespoons finely diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 slices multi-grain bread

Steps:

  • Toast the walnuts in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, roast the walnuts in a preheated 300°F oven for 10 minutes, or until they smell toasted. Remove the walnuts to a plate and set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, and cider vinegar in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Combine the walnuts, apples, tuna, red onion, and parsley in a bowl. Toss with half the dressing. Add more dressing, if desired.
  • Spread the salad over 4 slices of bread. Top with the other 4 slices. Cut each sandwich in half, and serve.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna. Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as it can be lower in quality and have an off-flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the tuna spread will taste. Use fresh celery, onion, and walnuts for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the spread. Overmixing can make the spread too soft and runny. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the spread before serving. Chilling the spread for at least 30 minutes will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread.
  • Serve the spread with your favorite crackers, bread, or vegetables. Tuna spread is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways.

Tuna spread with walnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick lunch.
