- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Constructing the Perfect Tuna Salad Sandwich
- First things first, in a mixing bowl, flake the tuna with a fork until it’s nicely broken up.
- Now, let’s turn that tuna into a spectacular salad! Add the mayonnaise, diced celery, chopped red onion, sweet pickle relish, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the bowl. Sprinkle in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for that extra kick of seasoning.
- Mix it up! Stir everything together until the salad looks creamy and well-combined. If you’re feeling fancy, throw in a pinch of dill or parsley to elevate the flavors.
- Time to bring out the bread. Lay out your slices and begin to assemble. Spoon an ample amount of the tuna salad onto one slice, then top with lettuce or your chosen greens for that perfect crunch.
- Cap it off with the second slice of bread, and there you have it, a classic Tuna Salad Sandwich masterpiece.
- Serve immediately, or wrap it up for an on-the-go meal that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
Relish the delight of every bite, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself making this sandwich on repeat. After all, who can resist the charm of a classic done right? Bon appétit!
