Description
This tuna fish sandwich recipe features a crisp, tangy pickled celery relish that beautifully contrasts the creamy tuna salad. It’s an easy, high-protein, and family-friendly meal, perfect for quick lunches or dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 (5-ounce/140g) cans tuna, packed in water or olive oil, drained thoroughly
- 0.5 cup (120g) mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup (40g) finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons (30g) chopped fresh dill
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup (100g) finely diced celery
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (4g) sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon (3g) salt
- 8 slices of bread
Instructions
- Prepare Relish: In a small bowl, combine finely diced celery, white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir well to dissolve the sugar, then let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Drain Tuna: Thoroughly drain the canned tuna by pressing out any excess liquid. Flake the tuna into a medium mixing bowl.
- Combine Tuna Mixture: Add the mayonnaise (or yogurt), diced red onion, and fresh dill to the flaked tuna. Season generously with salt and black pepper, stirring until well combined.
- Integrate Relish: Drain any remaining excess liquid from the pickled celery relish, then add the celery to the tuna mixture. Gently fold all ingredients together until just combined.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Toast your bread slices if desired for 2-3 minutes. Evenly spread the tuna fish mixture onto four slices of bread, then top with the remaining bread slices. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a firmer, more cohesive filling, chill the assembled tuna salad for 10-15 minutes before spreading. If the tuna mixture looks too dry, splash in 1-2 tablespoons more mayonnaise or a little of the reserved relish liquid. A food processor can be used for extra-fine diced celery. Ensure tuna and relish are very well drained to avoid a watery result. For extra crunch, consider an additional sprinkle of fresh celery or thinly sliced cucumber before serving.
