Tuna Salad Sandwich
Description
The Tuna Salad Sandwich features a mixture of flaked fish blended with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, enriched by the crunch and sharpness of minced shallots and celery. Parsley and optional celery leaves add fresh, herbal flavors, while capers and pickles contribute bursts of tanginess. Seasoned with salt and freshly ground pepper, the filling offers a balanced profile. Assembling the salad between quality bread slices, toasted if preferred, yields a classic sandwich with layered textures and flavors.
The sandwich works well for lunch or light dinners and pairs suitably with a simple side or salad. Its components allow flexibility in adjusting the acidity and texture to personal preference.
One tested tip for preventing watery salad involves stirring dry potato flakes into the mixture if chopped onion and celery release moisture after refrigeration; letting it stand and stirring again maintains the salad's consistency.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fish smoked or not, drained if packed in water or oil, flaked
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup shallot minced
- 1 celery minced, stalk
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, minced
- 1 tablespoon celery leaves minced, optional
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons pickles minced
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 12 lices bread toasted if desired, good-quality
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the fish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, shallot, celery, parsley, celery leaves, if using, capers, and pickles. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divvy the fish mixture between six slices of bread and spread evenly over each slice. Top each sandwich with the second slice, cut in half, and devour.☞ TESTER TIP: If you add onion and celery, many times they will release water into the salad after it's been in the fridge for a few hours. Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of dry potato flakes into the salad, and let the mixture stand for at least 30 minutes. Then, re-stir and go on with life. No one will ever know, and you won't have watery tuna fish!
