- Finely chop the celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
- For Classic Tuna Salad, use a fork to mix together the tuna and chopped vegetables with the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt. Add shredded Parmesan if desired (it really steps it up a notch!). For Tuna Salad with Egg, add chopped hard boiled egg. For Avocado Tuna Salad, use 1/2 chopped ripe avocado instead of the Greek yogurt and mayo, and skip the Parmesan.

TUNA SALAD SANDWICH WITH A BITE!
A wonderful change from regular tuna salad sandwich. This is the only way we do it in our house! Note: I didn't notice until March 2010 (took me 8 years) that the ingredient horseradish had somehow defaulted to horseradish sauce. There are many great reviews here from people who used horseradish sauce, so don't be afraid to try it. I have corrected the recipe as it really does call for prepared horseradish, which is much hotter.

TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES
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.

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:
- Choose the freshest tuna possible. Fresh tuna will have a mild, sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid tuna that is discolored or has a strong odor.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your sandwich. Some good options include celery, onion, cucumber, and sweet peppers.
- Don't overmix the salad. Overmixing will make the salad mushy. Gently stir the ingredients until they are just combined.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will have a rich, creamy flavor and will help to hold the salad together. Avoid mayonnaise that is made with low-quality ingredients or that has a strong vinegar flavor.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Serve the salad on your favorite bread. Tuna salad sandwiches can be served on white bread, wheat bread, rye bread, or even croissants. Choose a bread that you enjoy and that will hold up well to the salad.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad sandwiches are a classic lunch option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make, customizable, and delicious. With a few simple tips, you can make a tuna salad sandwich that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch, give tuna salad a try!
