This sandwich gets a crunchy finish with chips embedded into the bread. I use very special potato chips that were sent to me from Pennsylvania by my dear friend, MP. But if you can't find Utz®, your favorite chip will work just fine. Serve with more chips and pickles.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (5 ounce) can olive-oil packed tuna, undrained
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 dill pickle, chopped
