My Country Kitchen’s Ultimate Tuna Salad Sandwiches
Tuna Salad sandwiches are great tea party sandwiches. You can make the Tuna Salad before your party and let it sit in your refrigerator for up to 24 hours in advance. This lets the flavors marry together. The salad is also great to put in a bowl and serve with your favorite crackers.
This recipe is a family favorite. I hope you will enjoy the recipe, too.
My Country Kitchen’s Ultimate Tuna Salad Sandwiches
2 to 3 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise (or your desired amount)
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
3 heaping tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely minced celery
1/4 teaspoon season salt

2 (6 ounce) can light chunk tuna in water, drained
1 cup chopped red delicious apple
1 tablespoon minced cilantro or parsley
6 slices reduced-calorie whole wheat bread, toasted
6 lettuce leaves
6 thinly sliced tomatoes
Combine all ingredients, serve on toasted bread of choice, or on a plate of mixed greens.

You know I have never had pieces of an apple in any tuna salad I’ve ever had. That sounds interesting and one I may dare to try.
