MARTHA'S FAVORITE TUNA SALAD SANDWICH



Martha's Favorite Tuna Salad Sandwich image

This recipe for Martha's Favorite Tuna Salad Sandwich makes a healthy meal for lunch or dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces good-quality tuna, packed in oil, drained
2 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 apple, such as McIntosh or Gala, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise, preferably Ojai Cook's Lemonaise Light
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 slices best-quality sourdough

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine tuna, celery, apple, mayonnaise, basil, and lemon juice; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On a work surface, divide tuna salad among 4 slices bread; top with remaining 4 slices bread. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna: Opt for high-quality canned tuna packed in water or olive oil. Solid white albacore tuna is a popular choice for its mild flavor and firm texture.
  • Prepare the tuna: Drain the tuna well and flake it with a fork. If using canned tuna packed in oil, rinse it briefly under cold water to remove excess oil.
  • Make a flavorful tuna salad: Combine the tuna with mayonnaise, celery, onion, dill, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other ingredients like chopped hard-boiled eggs, sweet pickle relish, or grated carrots for extra flavor and texture.
  • Choose the right bread: Use fresh, soft bread that will hold up well to the tuna salad. White bread, wheat bread, or multigrain bread are all good options.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the tuna salad evenly on one slice of bread. Top with the other slice of bread and cut into halves or quarters.
  • Add some extras: For a more substantial sandwich, add a layer of lettuce, tomato, or cucumber slices before topping with the second slice of bread.

Conclusion:

Tuna tea sandwiches are a classic lunchtime favorite that are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a delicious and satisfying sandwich that will hit the spot. Whether you're packing a lunch for work or school, or simply enjoying a light meal at home, tuna tea sandwiches are a great choice that won't disappoint.
