Ingredients
  

For the Tuna Salad:
  • 2 cans tuna (5 ounce, solid white albacore in oil)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet relish
  • 2 teaspoons stone ground or dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon mini capers
  • to taste salt and pepper
For the Sandwich:
  • 8 slices marble rye sandwich bread (lightly toasted)
  • Fresh tomato (optional)
  • Lettuce (optional)

Equipment

  • Bowl for mixing
  • Fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Toaster or grill
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Start by opening the cans of tuna. Drain the oil and transfer the tuna to a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces, ensuring there are no large chunks.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, sweet relish, stone-ground mustard, mini capers, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Gently mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  3. While the tuna salad is coming together, lightly toast the slices of marble rye bread until they are golden brown and crisp.
  4. Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of the tuna salad mixture onto four slices of bread. If desired, layer fresh tomato slices and crisp lettuce on top before placing another slice of bread on each sandwich.
  5. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy them with a side of chips, pickles, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, let the tuna salad sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise based on your preference for creaminess.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; store the tuna salad in an airtight container in the fridge.
