Delicious Tuna Salad Sandwich Recipe

My moms and dads began making tuna fish salad sandwiches this way years ago, and as far as I'm concerned theirs is the very best and just way making a tuna fish sandwich.
Initially it helps to start with high quality canned tuna. If you have leftover cooked tuna steaks, then by all means use them instead of the canned tuna. Both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods have exceptional canned tuna crammed in olive oil. (The brand I like at Whole Foods is Wild Planet.).

Tuna packed in olive oil might be more tasty than tuna packed in water, however look at the quality. It might be better to use tuna crammed in water, drain it, and then include a little bit of your very own high quality extra virgin olive oil. This needs a bit of experimentation with brand names.
