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.
CRUNCHY CURRY TUNA SANDWICH

CREAMY AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME
This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful tuna is the key to a great sandwich. Look for tuna that is sushi-grade or sashimi-grade, as this indicates that it is of the highest quality.
- Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna should be cooked quickly and gently to prevent it from becoming dry and tough. The best way to cook tuna for a sandwich is to sear it in a hot skillet for just a few minutes per side.
- Add some moisture to the sandwich. Tuna is a lean fish, so it's important to add some moisture to the sandwich to prevent it from becoming dry. This can be done by using a mayonnaise-based spread, adding some chopped vegetables, or using a flavorful dressing.
- Use a sturdy bread. The bread you use for your tuna sandwich should be sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings. A good choice is a hearty whole-wheat bread or a crusty baguette.
- Get creative with your toppings. There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for tuna sandwiches. Some classic choices include lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion. You can also get creative and add things like avocado, bacon, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Tuna sandwiches are a classic lunch option for a reason. They're easy to make, customizable, and delicious. With a few simple tips, you can make a tuna sandwich that's sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch, give one of these tuna sandwich recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
