Classic Tuna Salad Sandwich ٹونا سینڈوچ recipe by morEwish

This easy tuna salad recipe makes the best tuna sandwiches! This classic tuna salad is the perfect recipe to make ahead for quick lunches.

This tuna salad is quick and easy to make, and it keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days. You can make it ahead and have a healthy, satisfying lunch ready to go. Use this tuna salad to make a classic tuna salad sandwich, served on a croissant, roll or bread. It’s also delicious on crackers! For a low carb meal, serve your tuna salad wrapped in lettuce leaves or on a bed of greens as a salad.

I prefer using a tuna canned in water. When you are draining the tuna prior to use, as most recipes will recommend, you could lose some of the flavor if it was packed in oil. Tuna packed in oil can absorb some of the flavor of the tuna.
In general, water-packed is usually used because it has fewer calories and retains more omega-3s. Not to mention it can taste “fresher”. One thing that I highly recommend is to make sure that you fully drain the water from the packed tuna. Extra moisture in the tuna salad is not typically considered a good thing. A watery tuna salad mixture will make the sandwich a little sloppy and could also make the bread soggy.

The great thing about tuna salad is that it can be changed up based on what you have on hand. Keep the ratios the same as the recipe below but swap out what you love.

• Replace the mayo with yogurt for a healthier and lighter option.
• I prefer not to add onion in my salad, just because it will make salad goes bad quickly. If you prefer a strong onion flavor use chopped red onion or even a sweet onion.
• I use chopped celery for crunch and texture. You can add celery salt as well or both.
• Croissants– My favorite way to eat tuna salad! However, I have to remember to buy them special because it’s not something we normally have on hand. Our next favorite option is whole grain bread, but in truth, any sandwich bread will work!
• Make it a Wrap – Completely change the game by making it a tuna salad wrap. We use a flour tortilla, some romaine lettuce leaves, tomato and wrap it all up! This is also a great alternative if you are taking these on a picnic because the tortilla holds everything together nicely.

Feel free to get creative and add/replace your own favorite ingredients.
