Equipment

  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices of Honey Whole Wheat Bread
  • 1 can of drained Tuna
  • 1 1/2 tsp Creamy Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 3/4 tsp Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
  • Salt and freshly cracked Black Pepper to taste
  • Thinly sliced Red Onion
  • Fresh Tomato slices
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • A few leaves of Fresh Basil

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Gather all the measured ingredients. Drain the tuna thoroughly and place it in a mixing bowl. This ensures your salad won’t be too watery.

Step 2: Combine Tuna with Mayonnaise and Mustard

  • Add the creamy mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, and garlic powder to the bowl with the tuna. Use a fork to mix gently until everything is combined evenly. This step is crucial as it forms the base flavor profile of your salad.

Step 3: Season the Tuna Salad

  • Sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Give it another mix. Remember, you can always adjust the seasoning later.

Step 4: Add Fresh Ingredients

  • Fold in the sliced red onion and fresh tomato. If you love basil, now’s the time to add it. Mixing these fresh ingredients at the end prevents them from getting too mashed.

Step 5: Assemble Your Sandwich or Bowl

  • Take your slices of honey whole wheat bread. Layer the tuna salad between the slices, or serve it in a bowl topped with additional veggies.

Notes

Here are my top tips to perfect this dish:
  • Choose Quality Tuna: Opt for a good quality canned tuna to elevate flavor.
  • Add Crunch: Include celery or diced bell peppers for added texture.
  • Let it Chill: Refrigerate the salad for about 30 minutes before serving. It enhances the flavor.
  • Experiment with Herbs: Try fresh dill or parsley for a different flavor profile.
  • Mind the Bread: Use fresh bread to avoid a soggy sandwich. Toasting slices can help.
