PESTO TUNAFISH MELT SANDWICH

I wanted to make something different then your plain old tuna fish sandwich. I love pesto and thought this would be a good combination. It was! I also just loved Friendly's tuna melts and this was very similar. You can use any bread you want. Even my other half loved it and he doesn't really care for tunafish.

THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH

Years ago, there was a deli in the town I worked and everyday faithfully, I would stop there for the Tuna sandwich (which was the best ever!) I became friends with the older lady that always worked the deli and she gave me the recipe. I will never forget what she told me.."The more colors in your Tuna, the better the flavor" sadly, the deli went out of business, but I never forgot her recipe. This tuna has lots of veggies in it, but if you dice them very small, it's so good! Remember, Tuna is a finicky meal.. too much mayo makes it watery and too little makes it dry and fishy.. be sure to use your best judgement and liking. (This recipe makes a lot) you can lessen it

The Best Tuna Sandwich image

Steps:

  • Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
  • dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
  • I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
  • add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
  • Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
  • Hope you enjoy & agree this is one of the best Tuna Sandwiches!
