Page’s Tuna Fish Sandwich
Ok. It’s true. I do like sandwiches. That said, I have no idea where the whole “Page loves sandwiches” thing started. Perhaps someone asked me if I like sandwiches. I would have said, “yes.” But, I don’t know a lot of folks who don’t like sandwiches. Sorry to digress from the recipe, but I kind of felt like this had to be addressed up front, the elephant in the room, if you will. So here goes:
Ingredients
Tuna Fish – 1 or 2 cans, preferably in water
Mayo – I use avocado based mayonnaise
Celery – 1 or 2 stalks, diced
Pickles to taste
Bread – I have been on a gluten-free diet for about seven years, but if you can eat non-GF bread, I would recommend it
Instructions
Open and drain the excess liquid from the cans of tuna. Chop the celery and pickles. Mix all ingredients in a bowl with the mayo. Sometimes I toast my bread with thin slices of Vermont Cheddar Cheese.
Put the tuna salad on your bread/toast and get ready to enjoy! I find this meal pairs nicely with a black cherry seltzer and BBQ potato chips.
Bon Appetit!
