Here’s a classic Tuna Fish Sandwich recipe—simple, creamy, and satisfying.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1 can (5 oz / 140g) tuna in water, drained
- 2–3 tbsp mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1–2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped (optional for crunch)
- 1 small dill pickle, chopped (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- Lettuce or tomato slices (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the tuna filling
- In a bowl, combine drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, celery, and pickle.
- Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the sandwich
- Spread the tuna mixture evenly onto 2 slices of bread.
- Add lettuce or tomato if desired.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread.
- Serve
- Cut diagonally and serve immediately.
✅ Tips:
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- Add a pinch of paprika or a few chopped capers for extra flavor.
- Toasting the bread adds crunch and enhances the flavor.
I can also give a tuna melt version with melted cheese on top if you want a warm, gooey sandwich. Do you want that?
