From my grandma's recipes. Tuna in oil contains vitamin E, unlike tuna in water, so that's what I always choose.

THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH
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

Steps:
- Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
- dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
- I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
- add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
- Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
- Hope you enjoy & agree this is one of the best Tuna Sandwiches!

SPICY TUNA FISH SANDWICH
This is similar to classic tuna fish salad but with a kick. My boyfriend made this when we were out of relish and decided to substitute with jalapenos. It was awesome! I added the relish back in to give it a sweetness along with the spiciness.

Tips:
- Choose the right tuna: Opt for tuna packed in water or olive oil for a healthier option, and avoid tuna packed in oil for a lower-calorie choice.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your tuna salad will taste. Use ripe celery and onion, and fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
- Don't overmix the tuna salad: Overmixing will make the salad tough and dry. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
- Chill the tuna salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
- Get creative with your toppings: Try adding different toppings to your tuna salad, such as chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts.
