DIJON-CILANTRO TUNA SALAD ON WHOLE GRAIN BREAD



Dijon-Cilantro Tuna Salad on Whole Grain Bread image

Published in Bon Appetit April 2009. For the longest time I wouldn't eat tuna salad because eating meat from a can just seemed gross! But one Friday night I was pressed for time and needed to make something for dinner for myself and my hubby. I randomly threw some stuff together and made a tuna salad which was surprisingly good. Now that eating meat from a can (well at least tuna) doesn't bother me I'm on the look out for tuna salad recipes and this one sounds great!

Time 20m

Yield 12 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
6 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained (solid albacore packed in water)
1 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
12 slices bread, toasted (whole whole grain)
12 slices tomatoes (ripe)
arugula leaf

Steps:

  • Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Mix in tuna. Add celery, onion, and cilantro; mix well. Cover; chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Spoon 1/2 cup tuna on each of 6 bread slices. Top with tomato slices, arugula, and bread slices. Cut sandwiches in half.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna packed in oil as it can be high in unhealthy fats.
  • Make your own mayonnaise: Homemade mayonnaise is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought. You can control the ingredients and adjust the flavor to your liking.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, add a burst of flavor to the sandwich. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't skimp on the Dijon mustard: Dijon mustard adds a sharp, tangy flavor that complements the tuna and mayonnaise. Be sure to use a good-quality Dijon mustard, as it will make a big difference in the flavor of the sandwich.
  • Use a variety of bread: You can use any type of bread you like for your tuna sandwich, but some good options include sourdough, whole wheat, or rye bread. You can also use croissants or bagels for a different twist.

Conclusion:

The Dijon-cilantro tuna sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch option that is perfect for busy weeknights. With its simple ingredients and customizable flavor profile, this sandwich is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give the Dijon-cilantro tuna sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed!
