    Have you started craving sandwiches and sliders yet? Summer is fast approaching and nothing beats a quick tuna salad sandwich with a cold glass of lemonade. After a long day of work, nobody wants to make a three-course meal in a hot kitchen. This tuna sandwich is made with some of my favorite ingredients, mayo, fresh lemon, scallions, and sweet relish. Yes, sweet relish is my secret ingredient and once you add it there is no turning back.

     

    How to Make Your Tuna Salad Sandwich

     

    Probably the easiest recipe in the entire world, this is all you have to do:

     

    Mix the mayo, sweet relish, scallions, fresh lemon juice, canned tuna, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

    Place about 1/4 of the tuna salad on soft bread or toast and enjoy!

    Tips for a Successful Tuna Salad Sandwich

     

    1. Use this exact recipe to make a tuna melt.
    2. Serve this on crackers, toast, onion rolls, on top of lettuce, or a tortilla wrap.
    3. For a lighter version, use yogurt instead of mayo.
    4. Want to spice it up? Add some chopped green chilies
    5. Want a little crunch? Add some finely chopped celery.
