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:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The better the tomatoes, the better the sandwich. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when gently squeezed.
  • Don't skimp on the onion: The onion adds a sharp, pungent flavor that complements the tuna and tomatoes perfectly. Use a white or yellow onion, thinly sliced.
  • Use a good quality tuna: The tuna is the star of the show, so make sure you use a good quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil.
  • Season the tuna salad to taste: The tuna salad should be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and any other desired seasonings until the tuna salad is flavorful and delicious.
  • Use a sturdy bread: The bread should be sturdy enough to hold up to the tuna salad and the other ingredients. A good option is a hearty white bread or a whole wheat bread.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread adds a nice crunch and flavor to the sandwich. You can toast the bread in a toaster or on a griddle.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the sandwich is assembled, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and avocado.

The onion roll tuna sandwich is a classic summer sandwich that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone.
