Magic Tuna Fish Salad Sandwiches

 Joseph Chiaravalloti (Illinois) says:
Water packed tuna is wishy-washy. Oil pack is better, Olive oil pack is best. If made without real mayonnaise, flavor will be lacking. Use Hellman's with some Dijon mustard. Lose the bean sprouts and other adulterants, including the cheese, mushrooms, and jalapenos. Use artisanal pumpernickel bread. Chopped celery for crunch.

Aside from that, it's a great tuna sandwich recipe.

Hi Joseph,

I agree about the tuna. I normally use oil packed tuna but that's because when I make a tuna salad I make it Italian style (no mayo - just olive oil, red onions, crisp lettuce, slivers of hard cheese, black olives, a little hot pepper and balsamic or red wine vinegar, basil and oregano, crushed garlic) and served accompanied by pita pockets or crusty bread.

This is the way I make it.
