This recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic tuna salad sandwich, incorporating fresh ingredients for a satisfying meal.
Open the can of tuna and drain any liquid.
Draining the tuna well ensures the salad isn't watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, and pickle relish. Mix until well blended.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and relish to your taste preference.
Toast the slices of bread until golden brown.
Toasting the bread adds a nice crunch to the sandwich.
Place a leaf of lettuce on one slice of toasted bread, add a portion of the tuna salad, and top with a slice of cheese.
Layering the lettuce first prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
Top with another slice of toasted bread, cut the sandwich in half, and serve.
Cutting the sandwich diagonally makes it easier to handle and more visually appealing.
