TUNA SALAD SANDWICH WITH APPLES AND WALNUTS



Tuna Salad Sandwich with Apples and Walnuts image

This dish can be served as a sandwich filling or as a stand-alone salad accompanied by favorite lettuces and veggies. We use canned tuna packed in spring water because it's lighter than tuna packed in oil, and we make sure the apple is tart and crisp. Granny Smith apples are fine, but also Mutsu, Honeycrisp, or any good local crispy, tart apple will do. Add half the dressing at first and see if you need more-it's up to you how well coated you want the tuna and apples to be.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup mayonnaise, homemade (page 284) or store-bought
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 crisp, tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Mutsu or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch cubes
3 small cans (about 18 ounces total) canned tuna in spring water, drained and separated into chunks
6 tablespoons finely diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 slices multi-grain bread

Steps:

  • Toast the walnuts in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, roast the walnuts in a preheated 300°F oven for 10 minutes, or until they smell toasted. Remove the walnuts to a plate and set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, and cider vinegar in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Combine the walnuts, apples, tuna, red onion, and parsley in a bowl. Toss with half the dressing. Add more dressing, if desired.
  • Spread the salad over 4 slices of bread. Top with the other 4 slices. Cut each sandwich in half, and serve.

APPLE PECAN TUNA SALAD



Apple Pecan Tuna Salad image

I grew up eating tuna salad made with sour pickles, onions, and mayonnaise. When I married, my m-in-law made a delicious tuna salad with apples as one of the main ingredients. I LOVED it and began to use that recipe. My husband likes pecans (Texas' state nut) in everything, so I always add a handful, but they are optional. It's better to begin with the chopped apple so you can sprinkle lemon juice over the pieces to keep them from turning brown. I also prefer unpeeled apples. I am saying this makes 6 servings because we like THIN sandwiches. I also sometimes make my sandwich ingredients the night before because allowing to set a while makes the flavors blend.

Time 30m

Yield 6 sandwiches (thin), 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small granny smith apple, unpeeled cored and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or however much needed to coat apple pieces)
1 (5 ounce) can tuna fish, drained (do not use foil packaged, too fishy)
2 celery ribs, cleaned and chopped
1 tablespoon onion, grated (sweet kind is best)
5 tablespoons mayonnaise (we like the flavor and texture of "Real" better than "Lite")
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 pinch sugar, to taste
1 pinch salt, to taste
12 slices whole wheat bread, sandwich sliced

Steps:

  • Chop unpeeled Granny Smith (or any tart, crunchy apple -- Fuji and Gala are also good).
  • Sprinkle lemon juice (fresh or bottled) over apples and toss to coat evenly.
  • Add drained tuna fish and flake, mixing with apples.
  • Add celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Amount of mayonnaise may be adjusted according to texture preference. More crumbly (less mayonnaise) is better to eat with a fork on a lettuce leaf. More "pastey" texture is better for sandwiches.
  • Taste, and add a pinch of sugar and salt if needed. (Some apples require a tiny bit of sugar).
