Spicy Curry Parmesan Tuna Sandwich: A Quick & Creamy Lunch Delight

Quick & Creamy Tuna Sandwich with a Flavor Boost

Looking for the ultimate tuna sandwich? This American-style lunch favorite gets a secret lift from curry powder and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients for 4 Sandwiches

• 2 (7 ounce) cans white tuna, drained and flaked
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 8 slices bread (white, wheat, or your favorite)
• 2 lettuce leaves or tomato slices (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Gather ingredients: Drain tuna, chop celery, and measure spices.
2. Mix the base: In a bowl, combine tuna, mayo, lemon juice, curry powder, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until creamy.
3. Season: Add celery, salt, and pepper. Adjust flavors—curry powder should sneak in spice, Parmesan brings umami.
4. Assemble sandwiches: Spread tuna salad onto bread slices. Top with lettuce or tomato if desired, then close and cut diagonally.
5. Serve: Plate with chips or a crisp side salad for a complete lunch.
