Instructions
Tuna Salad
- Using a fork, mix the tuna with mayonnaise.
- Add the celery, chopped onion, cornichons, capers, olives, and toss to combine. Add a squirt of lemon juice and pepper. Taste and see if you'd like more mayonnaise, onion, or cornichons.
- Add more lemon juice and pepper to taste. Stir in the chives and parsley.
- The tuna salad is good to go as soon as it’s made, but it’s even better after a couple of hours in the fridge.
- If you're serving this as a salad, simply spoon over your favourite greens.
Tuna Salad Sandwich
- If you’re using English muffins make open-face sandwiches.
- Assemble: Butter the muffins with butter and avocado, add a leaf of lettuce and a slice of cheddar cheese on each muffin and top with tuna salad, finish with tomato and onion.
- If you’re using sliced bread, prepare traditional sandwiches.
- Assemble: Top 2 slices of bread with butter, avocado, 1 piece of lettuce, tomato, and onion, then spread the tuna on top and finish with a slice of lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. Top with a slice of buttered bread.
