Steps:
- 1. Mix up your tuna, pickle relish, horsey sauce, spices, onion and green onion, lime or lemon juice....taste and see if you need more salt and pepper. ---- I wanted this spicy so I added 4 tbsp of horsey at least. This is all estimate cause I made it for the first time tonight. I LOVE horseradish! It's good for you too.
- 2. Butter your bread and then sprinkle on your Parmesan and pat it down into the butter. Assemble your sandwich with a little sharp cheddar first, then your tuna mix and then more cheddar...top with other slice of bread.
- 3. I cooked this up in my Ninja Cooking System but it could easily be pan fried or on the griddle too. The Parmesan give this an incredible crunchy crust...so good.
- 4. Cook 3 - 5 minutes on each side with a medium heat. If you want add a little oil to pan if you think that the butter isn't enough.
- 5. Slice up and serve with a yummy salad or some yummy fresh veggies, salad, chips or dill pickles....just delish.

BARBIE'S TUNA SALAD
This is a really great tuna salad recipe I got from a friend who used it in her catering service business many years ago. The secret ingredients are the curry and Parmesan cheese! Odd combinations but this makes a terrific tuna sandwich! She used it for an appetizer with gourmet crackers and people always wanted her recipe. I have never tasted another tuna salad quite like this one, and it has been my favorite recipe for tuna salad for many, many years.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful tuna, mayonnaise, and Parmesan cheese. Look for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, as this will give it a better flavor and texture.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: Avoid using miracle whip or salad dressing, as these will not give you the same rich, creamy flavor. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
- Grate your own Parmesan cheese: Pre-grated Parmesan cheese often contains fillers and additives. Grating your own cheese will give you a fresher, more flavorful spread.
- Don't overmix the ingredients: Overmixing will make the spread too thick and pasty. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Chill the spread before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the spread easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Parmesan tuna sandwich spread is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich spread that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With its creamy, flavorful texture and the sharp, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese, this spread is sure to be a hit. Experiment with different types of tuna, mayonnaise, and Parmesan cheese to find your favorite combination.
