The Best Tuna Salad Recipe

One of my favorite things to have for lunch is an open-faced tuna salad sandwich.  In fact, it's so good I decided to share the recipe with you. Here goes.

Here are all the ingredients you will need:

1 can tuna, drained
1 rib celery, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped
3 or 4 small dill pickles, chopped
1 tsp. capers
1/3 cup mayo
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. Italian Herb Mix
1/2 tsp. brown mustard seed
1/3 cup cheese (your choice)

Place celery, onion and pickles in a bowl; or you can do what I do and put them in big pieces into one of these handy-dandy food choppers.

Chop up the ingredients and it will look something like this:

Next add the tuna, mayo, capers, celery seed, Italian Herb mix, and brown mustard seed. 

Mix everything up really well. It should look like this:

Once mixed toast up a piece of whole wheat, whole grain bread. Place bread on a cookie sheet and warm up your broiler. Place the amount of tuna salad you want on the bread and then top with cheese. I used a white and yellow cheddar cheese on this one.

Place under broiler for about 3-4 minutes, but make sure you watch it so it doesn't burn. Remove after cheese gets nice and bubbly and just starts to brown.

Here's the end result:  lots of yummi-ness.  I ate mine with carrots and blueberries and a blueberry herbal ice tea.  So good!

The great thing about this tuna salad is that you can add pasta and a bit more mayo and you have a great tuna pasta salad. 

My favorite way to eat this tuna salad?  As a dip for potato chips!  It's so good!

Hope you give it a try.  Enjoy!
