What do You Need To Make Tuna Salad Sandwich
- Mayonnaise: A classic tuna salad sandwich is made with mayonnaise. If you like the calories of your delicious sandwich not too high or eating mayonnaise is not good for you, you can use low-fat mayonnaise or greek yogurt.
- Canned tuna: I used tuna in water for this salad sandwich, but you can also use tuna in oil. Tuna packed in water is a more nutritious option. 1 can of tuna is enough for 2.
- Dill Pickles: Dill pickles go well with tuna and mayonnaise, which I can not compare to anything.
- Red Onion: Chopped red onion gives a nice crunch to the sandwich.
- Parsley: Parsley adds a pop of color and flavor to the sandwich.
- Tomato: Complete the sandwich with thinly sliced tomato.
