Tuna Salad Sandwich with Sweet Relish

tuna

mayonnaise

sweet pickle relish

celery

whole-wheat sandwich bread

lettuce

Combine tuna, mayonnaise, relish and celery in a medium bowl. Divide the tuna salad between 2 slices of bread. Top each with a lettuce leaf and another slice of bread. Cut into halves or quarters.


This is the basically the recipe I have always used except I add some chopped onion and lemon juice. I would caution  you to read the ingredient label of the pickle relish. It's difficult at best to find one that has cane sugar listed. High fructose corn syrup or sugar alcohols seem to be the sweetener used now. I have resorted to chopping up sweet cornichons as a replacement, they can still be found sweetened with cane sugar. (I may have to resort to making and canning a batch of sweet pickle relish when local cucumbers come to market.)

If I do not have relish, I will mince pickles and their jar mates! I too add the lemon, such a difference! Served on the leftover picnic buns...childhood memories. Just add the chips and rootbeer!!! Thanx for sharing!raf

This is the traditional American tuna salad - the only way I have ever eaten it. What is the “twist?” One additional thing I add is lemon juice to the tuna before I add any other ingredients. Also I really break up the tuna into the finest shreds possible before adding anything else.
