As far as albacore tuna recipes go, this one's my favorite! Sweet apples, golden raisins, celery, nuts, tuna and a tropical taste of pineapple add up to a simply wonderful salad. And leftovers are as delicious as the first bite. Sometimes I substitute grapes for the raisins. -Barbara Moravek, Jay, Florida

What a different way to enjoy tuna! The chipolte mayo added a really nice kick to it.

Provided by Karina Alcala

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 can(s) tuna in water drained
1 celery stick diced
1/4 onion diced
3 Tbsp sweet pickled relish
2 Tbsp fat free mayo
CHIPOTLE MAYO
1 c fat free mayo
1 lime juiced
2 chipotle peppers in a can
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
TOPPINGS
1 pineapple peeled and sliced
lettuce any kind you like or can find.
bread toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Drain your tuna pretty well. Add mayo and mix. Add chopped onions, relish and celery. Peel your pineapple (it has to be fresh. You can use can but it just wont taste the same). Cut the pineapple into rings and take the core out.
  • 2. In a blender add mayo, lemon juice, chipotle peppers, salt and olive oil blend until well combined. Start toasting your bread (you can use any bread you like).
  • 3. To assemble sandwiches all you do is slather bread with the spicy mayo onto both pieces. Add as much tuna as you like. I like to make mine fat. Add a ring of pineapple on top with some lettuce and top with the other piece of bread. Cut the sandwich in half or quarters what ever you like. These are great party foods or finger foods.

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.

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:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
  • If you don't have celery, you can use another crunchy vegetable like cucumber or jicama.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of adding the mayonnaise. Then, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, stir in the mayonnaise and serve.
  • For a lighter version of the salad, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • Serve the salad on its own or on a bed of lettuce. It's also great as a sandwich filling.

Conclusion:

Pineapple tuna salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy meal, give pineapple tuna salad a try!
