TUNA-SALAD SANDWICH, JULIA CHILD STYLE



Tuna-Salad Sandwich, Julia Child Style image

This was one of Julia Child's favorite dishes for a working lunch. For decades, Julia was on the road more than she was home and, when she returned to her beloved kitchen, she craved simple foods. For Julia, the important ingredients for this sandwich were the tuna (it had to be packed in oil) and the mayo (she preferred Hellmann's). Her longtime assistant, Stephanie Hersh, said, "The rest was up for grabs." Make it with capers, cornichons and chopped onion, a squirt of lemon juice and some herbs, serve it open-face on an English muffin or between slices of white bread, and you'll have Julia's midday signature.

Time 10m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (5-ounce) can tuna packed in oil, drained
3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's, plus more for spreading
3 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion, preferably Vidalia
3 to 4 cornichons, finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed, patted dry and chopped if large, or 5 olives, pitted and chopped
Fresh lemon juice
Salt
Freshly ground pepper, preferably white
1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives or parsley (optional)
2 toasted English muffins (preferably Bays) or 4 untoasted white bread slices
4 soft lettuce leaves, such as Boston
4 tomato slices
4 thin slices onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the tuna salad: Using a fork, mash the tuna with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise. Add the celery, as much onion and chopped cornichons as you'd like, and the capers or olives, and toss to combine. Add a squirt of lemon juice, some salt (go easy at first) and pepper. Taste and see if you'd like more mayo, onion or cornichons. Add more lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chives or parsley, if you're using either. (Makes 1 1/2 cups.) The tuna salad is good to go as soon as it's made, but it's even better after a couple of hours in the fridge.
  • When you're ready to serve, spread the muffins or bread with a little mayonnaise. If you're using English muffins, do what Julia did: Make open-face sandwiches. Put a leaf of lettuce on each muffin half, top with tuna salad and finish with tomato and onion. If you're using sliced bread, prepare traditional sandwiches: Top each of 2 slices of bread with 1 piece lettuce, tomato and onion, then spread over the tuna and finish with remaining onion, tomato, lettuce and bread.

NO-MAYO TUNA SALAD SANDWICH



No-Mayo Tuna Salad Sandwich image

I came up with this recipe while experimenting with different ingredients in tuna salad. It is pretty low-fat for the most part, and healthy. I say that it's low fat for the most part because you can use regular ingredients, or low-fat-whatever suits your tastes. I just like it because it has no mayo-I dislike it very much.

Time 10m

Yield 2-4 Sandwiches, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (5 ounce) cans tuna
1 teaspoon mustard
1 tablespoon sour cream (regular or low-fat)
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon pickle relish
1 leaf lettuce
1 slice tomatoes

Steps:

  • You can add different amounts of sour cream and mustard to adjust for however moist you like it, and the flavor. I would start out with the amounts above, and go from there.
  • Empty the tuna into a bowl for mixing.
  • Add the sour cream and mustard.
  • Adjust the amounts for your taste. Add more mustard for zest, more sour cream for moisture.
  • Add the salt and pepper, and relish and cayenne if you wish.
  • Put lettuce, tomatoes, etc. to your liking.
  • Once you have it just right, toss it on your bread of choice, and throw some potato chips on the side. :). This is also good on crackers for parties!
