Tasty Tuna Sandwich


This is very easy to make, filling and downright tasty. You don't have to use pecans (I had a bag of them from making spiced pecans yesterday) so go with whatever nut you prefer (walnuts would be tasty). The Dijon gives it a little zip and you can also use the dressing as a dip for vegetables.

Caroline's Tuna Sandwich

2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/4 red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
2 cans of albacore white tuna
Finely sliced tomato slices (1 to 2 per sandwich)
Leaf lettuce (2 leaves per sandwich)
4 slices of toasted bread
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
2 dashes of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of fresh dill
Salt/Pepper to taste

This will make two heaping sandwiches. In a separate bowl add your drained white albacore tuna, onion, pecans and celery. In a food processor (or you can do this by hand) blend your mayo, mustard, garlic, vinegar, dill and salt and pepper. Adjust consistency to your taste. Add the dressing to the tuna mixture and heap onto toasted bread. Layer with tomato and lettuce and enjoy!
