A good tuna salad sandwich starts with the the tuna salad. And a good tuna salad must have high-quality canned tuna. If you have leftover cooked tuna steaks, then by all means use them instead of the canned tuna.
Both Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods have excellent canned tuna packed in olive oil that work perfectly for tuna salad. (The brand I like at Whole Foods is Wild Planet.)
INGREDIENTS
1 (5 or 6 ounce) can of tuna fish (drained, if packed in water, drain it, and add a teaspoon of good quality olive oil to the tuna)
1/3 cup of cottage cheese
2 Tablespoons of mayonaise
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 celery stalk, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 Tbsp of capers
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Pinch or two of dill
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
(optional - lettuce and sliced tomatoes)
Sliced bread, lightly toasted
METHODHIDE
Mix all of the ingredients. Serve on toast, either open faced, or in a regular sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes. For a low carb option, serve on sliced lettuce.
