Recipe cat. Main Dish: Tuna Sandwich ALA the Starlight Cafe

You've never tasted a tuna sandwich like this one. It's wonderful. You could even serve it as a tuna salad without the bread.

Tuna Sandwich ALA The Starlight Cafe
An original recipe by BumbleBeeBoogie

(For 2 sandwiches)

1/2 cup flaked water-canned white meat tuna
1 large egg, hard cooked
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish, drained
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely grated carrots (optional)
1 teaspoon finely minced lemon zest, fresh or dried
2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (as needed to moisten)
1 teaspoon dried dill or freshly snipped dill
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons shredded lettuce or Napa cabbage
4 slices of good quality toasted bread of choice.

Drain the tuna; flake the tuna with a fork into a bowl; drain again. Combine with all ingredients--- except the lettuce (or cabbage) and bread toast---in the bowl and mix well.

Mound the tuna filling on a toasted bread slice, add the shredded lettuce (or cabbage) and cover with a second slice; cut the sandwich into halves and serve.

My Finnish Style Swedish Limpa Bread is a wonderful base for this sandwich.
