What makes the best ever tuna sandwich? It's all in the combination of ingredients—the best tuna you can find, cottage cheese and mayo, and good use of fresh dill, parsley, and more. 

Best Ever Tuna Salad Sandwich

(5 tuna fish

cottage cheese

mayonnaise

red onion

celery stalk, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

capers

lemon juice

dill

parsley

Dijon mustard

bread,

Lettuce and sliced tomatoes (optional)

"Do you use small or large curd cottage cheese, and is it the thicker consistency, or the kind with more liquid?\r\nThanks! I am making this tomorrow."

"This recipe has become my go-to recipe for tuna salad. It is so delicious and so much better than the plain tuna salad I grew up eating. It takes a little more effort to make, but it’s worth it. The fresh parsley and capers make it taste so fresh! The only thing I change is that I use lime juice instead of lemon, simply due to personal preference. My husband says I’m obsessed and teases me because I eat 3 of them at a time! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing. This has become a family recipe for us."

Mix: In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients until combined.

Serve: Serve tuna salad on toast, either open faced, or in a regular sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes. For a low carb option, serve on sliced lettuce.

"Looking at the ingredients, I knew I had to try this! The interesting combination of ingredients was delicious! I do like relish and diced dill pickles in mine for a bit of sweetness and crunch, absolutely perfect!"

"Fantastic!! I love tuna but was really bored with every day tuna salad and was looking for something to up the flavor. First time I made had everything but the capers and knew I would miss that flavor. Have since bought capers and have followed this to the T and it is soooo good! So glad I found this recipe.  Need to try it with tuna packed in oil (have been adding extra virgin olive oil and use mayonnaise with olive oil). Never liked it as a kid, but maybe time to try again. Thanks!"

"I’ve made this three times now and we love it more each time."
