tuna salad sandwich

Here’s a little something I came up with when I wasn’t sure what to make. I just threw some stuff from the cupboard together and it turned out great. The rice sounds weird, but it’s really good and helps extend the tuna when you only have one can.

  • 1 can tuna
  • 1 c cooked rice
  • 2 tsp garlic powder or 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3-4 tsp dried chopped onion or 1/2 onion chopped fine
  • 1/4 c chopped raisins
  • 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp relish
  • 1 squirt dijon mustard
  • enough mayonnaise to make the whole thing stick together
  • juice of 1/2 lemon or 2 tsp wine vinegar
  • 3 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 slices favorite lunchmeat
  • 6 slices favorite sandwich bread
  • 1-2 tsp butter

Mix all but the last 4 ingredients together. Arrange the cheese and meat on the bread. Top with a generous helping the tuna mixture. Spread the outside of the sandwich with butter and grill on a sandwichmaker, Geroge Forman-like grill, or just sautee in a frying pan. Delish.

    I like the idea of using rice to help stretch out the tuna. I’ve never tried that but now I will. I always try to load up my tuna with lots of veggies to help stretch it out even more. Like thinly sliced celery and shredded cheese and carrot curls or other things.
