Some of y’all are probably like, “doesn’t everyone know how to make tuna salad?” or “is she really sharing a recipe for this?” ……. Yes, I am really sharing a recipe for tuna salad! I know there are a million and one recipes out there for it, but I have to make it a million and two – because I like even numbers! 😀
I don’t know about you, but when the weather gets warmer, I tend to look for simple recipes. I don’t want to spend all day in a hot kitchen – and I know you don’t either! I am particularly fond of “no cook” recipes in the summer {yes, even us food bloggers take the easy (and cooler) road sometimes – no shame in my game!} – they keep my house cool and they tend to be lighter meals! Who wants to eat a big ol’ meal in the summer? Exactly … no one! We usually eat a lot more sandwiches and cold side salads in the summer, and I’m guessing many other families do as well.
Today, I’m sharing a simple, no-fuss Tuna Salad Sandwich recipe. It’s a very basic, no-frills sort of recipe. Sometimes, those are the best ones – aren’t they?! Occasionally, I like to top my sandwiches with lettuce and tomato … other times, it’s just straight up tuna salad.
During the summer, we probably have these 2 or 3 times a month for lunch or dinner. They can be whipped up in no time and they are very budget friendly!

Toasted definitely! Looks great and different than what I am making so your #million and two recipe made it to a new household 😉
This is making me crave some tuna! That sounds so good right! I do think every family has their own way of making tuna salad and I learned from my mom 🙂
I just bought 3 cans of tuna fish yesterday thinking the same thing Jamie, and easy "no cook" meal. I like to put sweet pickle relish in mine too, just makes it taste so much better!
One of my favorites, a go to sandwich! Looks like a delicious recipe 🙂
Happy Blogging!

I like the sound of this recipe for tuna sandwiches, and yes this is the perfect time of year to make them!
Hm, I don't think I've put celery in tuna salad before, but I bet it would be great! I always add in pickle relish. =)

Hi Jamie,
I haven't had a Tuna Sandwich in a long time that looks so good, and of course now I want one. Hope you have a wonderful week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

This is exactly how my mom always made tuna (without the onion). It's my favorite comfort food. Thanks for sharing at Inspire Us Thursday at Organized 31.
