TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES



Tuna Salad Sandwiches image

Inspired by Iranians' love affair with pickles and fresh herbs, this tuna salad combines the crunch and tang of dill pickles with a mix of herbs. The cheerful addition of potato chips celebrates relaxed summer lunches - and tastes great any time of year. Ciabatta rolls and classic salted chips are especially good here, but you can use your favorite loaves and chips, or skip the bread and just serve the tuna salad with chips for scooping.

Categories     lunch, sandwiches, main course

Time 5m

Yield 4 to 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (5-ounce) cans tuna in water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped sour dill pickles (from 2 small)
1 large celery stalk, finely chopped
1 green onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill or 1 tablespoon dried dill
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
4 ciabatta sandwich rolls, split and lightly toasted
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Drain the tuna, place in a medium bowl and use a fork to flake into pieces. Add the mayonnaise, pickles, celery, green onion, dill, parsley, lemon juice and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and combine well. Taste and adjust all seasonings to your liking if needed. The tuna salad will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Divide the tuna salad among the bottom halves of the rolls, top off with potato chips, sandwich with the ciabatta tops and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna: Opt for canned tuna packed in water or olive oil, as these options are typically higher in quality and have a better flavor than tuna packed in oil.
  • Add some crunch: Incorporate chopped celery, red onion, or cucumber into your tuna salad for a refreshing and flavorful crunch.
  • Experiment with different mayonnaise: Try using flavored mayonnaise, such as chipotle or garlic mayonnaise, to add a unique twist to your tuna salad.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in your tuna salad to suit your preferences. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until you achieve the desired flavor.
  • Serve immediately or chill: Tuna salad can be enjoyed immediately after preparation or chilled for later. If chilling, make sure to cover the tuna salad tightly to prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Tuna salad sandwiches are a versatile and delicious lunch option that can be easily customized to suit your preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a tuna salad sandwich that is both satisfying and enjoyable. Whether you're packing a lunch for work or school, or simply looking for a quick and easy meal, tuna salad sandwiches are a great choice. So next time you're in need of a tasty and convenient lunch, give this classic recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
