THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH



The Best Tuna Sandwich image

Years ago, there was a deli in the town I worked and everyday faithfully, I would stop there for the Tuna sandwich (which was the best ever!) I became friends with the older lady that always worked the deli and she gave me the recipe. I will never forget what she told me.."The more colors in your Tuna, the better the flavor" sadly, the deli went out of business, but I never forgot her recipe. This tuna has lots of veggies in it, but if you dice them very small, it's so good! Remember, Tuna is a finicky meal.. too much mayo makes it watery and too little makes it dry and fishy.. be sure to use your best judgement and liking. (This recipe makes a lot) you can lessen it

1 small red bell pepper (finely diced)

2 medium sized dill pickles (finely diced)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (heaping, use a regular kitchen tablespoon)

Steps:

HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TUNA SANDWICH (NO MAYO!)



Healthy Alternative Tuna Sandwich (No Mayo!) image

I came up with this concoction one day when I was craving eggs and tuna and hand no mayo. So, in order to create the consistency desired to hold the tuna together I decided to add the yolk of a sunny-side up egg. The result was delicious and healthier than traditional tuna & mayo sandwiches! I have also tried this recipe with my brother and his buds agreed! I hope your taste buds will enjoy it as much as mine did! For a lighter meal, skip the bread and place tuna over a bed of lettuce!
