What goes into your tuna salad sandwich? Login/Join

I get a craving once or twice a year for a tuna fish sandwich. I prefer the Bumble Bee canned tuna packed in water. My go to is one can of tuna a couple dollops of Miracle Whip and some sweet pickle relish. Mix together and let it sit in the fridge for a hour or so.

Then slather it on thick on a nice homemade sandwich bun with a couple leaves of fresh iceberg lettuce on top and served with a side of kettle chips and maybe a pickle spear.
Anyone else have a recipe to share?

When I do make it, solid white Albacore, Dukes mayo, dill relish,celery seed, dehydrated chopped onion and a pinch of sugar. I like to let it sit for a bit in fridge as well. What ever bread is around and some sort of lettuce

HRK is largely correct - I will use relish in place of just Dill pickles, but the rest is pretty spot on. I will sometimes slice a good tomato, if available, to put on top.

Miracle Whip? You do realize that Miracle Whip was developed as a Yankee plot to punish Southerners during the Depression, don't you? Look it up, it's true Wink

My wife and I go round and round, I can't stand the taste of Miracle Whip, I think I have finally converted her to Duke's Smile

Tuna salad is the only thing I use Miracle Whip on and I usually have to buy it when needed. I've been going plain jane compared to some of you. I wondered about a bit of good mustard. I put a slice of good country deli cheddar cheese on once but the flavors just didn't work for me.

Usually fairly decent canned tuna in water, drained. Dukes mayo. Maybe a whiff of cracked pepper. Served on sliced white bread, sometimes lightly toasted.

I normally make something like this:

Wild Planet Albacore Tuna
Duke's Mayo
Vidalia onion, finely diced (not too much)
Klaussen bread and butter pickes, finely diced (not too much)
Kikkoman or Yamasa soy sauce (just a dash)
Freshly ground black pepper

My tuna "salad" is very heavy on the tuna and mayo, and very light on the other ingredients. I usually eat it on Cuban bread from Publix or white bread (from the bread machine).

We pretty much do it the way HRK does, except we use sweet pickles, and Miracle Whip.

Large can of tuna or Costco canned chicken
1/2 of a medium onion, chopped
2-3 stalks of celery, chopped
2-3 medium sweet or dill pickles, chopped
5-6 hardboiled eggs, chopped

Add Mayo or Miracle Whip until you achieve the desired consistency; I prefer my "salad" drier over sloppy wet

Add salt and pepper to taste

Whatever is in the pouch goes on the bread with mayo spread on the slices. Salt, pepper and maybe a slice of Provolone.

2 cans American Tuna (https://americantuna.com/) -OR- Wild Planet Albacore (https://wildplanetfoods.com/product/albacore-wild-tuna/) with liquid from the cans (DO NOT DRAIN - these are not packed in water but packed in the tuna's own "juices" from cooking. Both brands strongly recommend NOT draining.), fork flaked + the following in amounts to suit personal tastes:

- chopped scallions
- diced celery
- diced English cucumber
- celery seed
- turmeric
- paprika
- parsley
- white pepper
- ground tellicherry black pepper
- ground Himalayan pink salt
- lemon juice
- sweet pickle relish
- mayonnaise (Blue Plate or Dukes)
- optional: diced Roma tomatoes (skip or use thick sliced hothouse or beefsteak tomatoes on sandwich)

Serve on whatever bread or bun you like, toasted or room temp, with lettuce. Black olives and radishes make good side garnishes. Big Grin

1. Tuna
2. Chopped onion to taste (I like a fair amount)
3. Chopped celery to taste (A little goes a long way for me)
4. Mayo of choice to taste

5. dash of celery salt
6. pepper, fresh ground to taste
7. a few splashes of Malt Vinegar

Optional depending on mood

8. a Dollop of good tartar sauce
9. minced pickled herring
10. fresh grated parmesan

Or for quick and easy...

Bread

I like both. Both are good for tuna melts with a good, sharp cheddar

12 oz. can of tuna in water, drained (tuna water goes to the cat)
Green onion finely chopped (to taste, I like a lot)
Bell Pepper finely chopped, a lot
Celery, the inner stalks with leaves, a lot
Avocado, mashed, with lemon juice
Hellman's Mayonnaise, add sparingly
Freshly ground black pepper

On lightly toasted bread or rolled up in a flour tortilla

Using avocado reduces the amount of mayo required. I never worry much about the proportions, it always seems to come out fine.



... stirred anti-clockwise.

Been eating a lot of tuna sandwiches since I had my sudo sist on my pancreas about a year ago.
My refined recip is;
can tuna on water(Prefer on oil but due to pancreas issue I stick with on water)
some dill hamburger slices chopped up with a little pickle juice,
Dehydrated onion flakes( the pickle juice starts to re-hydrate them)
a squirt of mustard
lots of real mayo
salt & pepper
On white bread/ makes two sandwich's, I eat one and refrigerate the other to eat the next day or later that day.
Sometimes I will add a packet of Arbys Horsyradish sauce when I have it for a different taste.
Like cold store bought baked beans with Gater Dill pickle kettle chips or HEB brand Salt & pepper kettle chips.

Way back when, in the late 50's early 60's, Disneyland had a pirate ship in fantasyland. They served tuna sandwiches from a little restaurant on board the boat. As I recall, they had just some spices and mayo in the tuna salad, but they used hamburger buns and warmed them up in an oven, b.m. (before microwave). They were really good and I tried to have one every time I visited there. I lived three miles from the park back then and visited the park frequently.
