Notes
- Leftovers are best when stored separately from the bread, tomatoes, and lettuce. Place tuna salad into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
- I do not recommend freezing this tuna sandwich recipe since mayonnaise based salads don’t tend to thaw well after being frozen.
