  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (6 oz each) tuna in water, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 slices bread

Steps

  • 1
    In a medium bowl, mix the tuna, celery, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • 2
    Spread tuna mixture on 4 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices.

  • Cut the celery and any other vegetables you’d like to add into a small dice so it’s still easy to make a sandwich. 1 to 2 tablespoons of chopped sweet red bell pepper, dill pickle, pitted olives or water chestnuts are all good stir-ins for the tuna salad.
  • Mayonnaise or salad dressing—what’s the difference? They're both thick, creamy dressings that contain vegetable oil, lemon juice or vinegar and seasonings. Mayonnaise also contains egg yolk and is less sweet than salad dressing. They can be used interchangeably.
  • Switch up this Tuna Salad Sandwiches recipe by stuffing tuna salad into hollowed-out tomatoes or avocado halves for a fresh take on lunch.
  • Try swapping out the tuna for chicken or ham, adding some spicy brown or Dijon mustard with the mayonnaise in the dressing.
