Tuna Salad Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 8 slices toast
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed chili
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large cans white tuna
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickle
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
For serving
- mustard
- lettuce
- Swiss cheese
Preparation
In a deep bowl, place the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, turmeric, paprika, chili, salt, pepper, tuna, onion, pickle and walnuts. Mix the ingredients with a fork, trying to break up the tuna into very small pieces. Mix well to get a homogeneous mixture. Cover the tuna mixture and put it in the fridge for an hour or overnight.
To form the sandwiches: Using a wide plastic spoon, spread the mustard on the toast slices.
Place a piece of lettuce on each slice of bread. Spread the tuna mixture on half of the bread slices. Place a slice of cheese on the tuna. Place a second layer of lettuce on the tuna mixture. Place another slice of cheese then place the remaining toast slices and press lightly on the sandwiches to hold together a bit.
Using a serrated knife, cut the sandwiches into triangles or as desired.
Serve the sandwiches immediately with pickles and olives.
