Kittencal's Tuna Salad Sandwiches

Description: This is a simple recipe but big on flavor and it even tastes better if left in the fridge a few hours to blend the flavors so I suggest to do that --- it's wonderful with a slice of tomato on top of the tuna and served between two thick slices of toasted whole grain bread or in a pita bread or served on a plate on top of a bed of lettuce --- I sometimes add in some chopped small sweet gherkin pickles or yum yum pickles also --- feel free to add in some cooked macaroni pasta and serve on a plate --- please only fresh lemon juice for this bottled is just not the same, I have left the mustard powder and Tabasco as optional I most always add it in it takes this salad to another level :)

Ingredients:

• 2 (7 ounce) cans solid white tuna (squeeze out excess moisture with hands)
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 1 small celery rib, finely diced
• 2 -3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise (can use full-fat mayonnaise)
• 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (optional or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (can use fresh ground black pepper)
• seasoning salt (to taste or use white salt)
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)
• 2 -3 drops Tabasco sauce (optional)
• 4 -6 slices bread
• lettuce leaf
• tomatoes, slices

Steps:

1. Drain the tuna then hand-squeeze out any excess moisture; place in a bowl then flake with a fork.
2. Add in all remaining ingredients up to the Tabasco sauce; mix until well combined, adjusting all seasonings to suit taste.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours (more is even better!).
4. Divide onto bread slices with lettuce leaves and slices tomatoes.
5. Delicious!
