Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  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.
