Are you looking ahead for Fall recipes? I know that when it comes to Apples and Autumn you think of Apple Pie, Apply Crisp, Apple Cider, Apple Cobbler, etc...but did you ever think of Apples and Tuna? I bet you didn't!
When I was younger, this is the only way I knew how to make a Tuna Fish sandwich. My mom made them no other way. When I got older, and I ate Tuna Fish at my friends house, I was so surprised to find out they didn't put apple or lettuce in theirs. I enjoy tuna made several different ways, but to be completely honest, this recipe is my all-time favorite!
Apple-Tuna Sandwich
1 5 oz can Tuna fish, drained
1/2 cup chopped Apple
1/2 cup lettuce, cut in to small 3/4 in pieces (I use iceberg)
Mix together in a small bowl.
This will normally make 4 sandwich's but we like a lot on ours, so it only makes 2 thick ones for us!
Don't be afraid to try something
new and different...
that's where this recipe comes in!
This looks good
ReplyDeleteSounds very different. I would never have thought of putting those together. So if you don't use mayo or miracle whip what do you use?
ReplyDeleteDebby...you use the 4 TBSP of Sandwich Spread. It comes in different brands but still says Sandwich Spread on the label!
ReplyDeleteTruthfully, I never thought of adding apple to my tuna but it sounds good. I like adding celery too.

My mother always put apples in her tuna, thanks for taking me back to my childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have never considered adding apples, but I will certainly try it! Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteTina, I never would have thought to add apples to tuna, but, I can almost taste it now. I have Got to try this one! It sounds like a perfect autumn sandwich!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined the party! Thanks!
Hugs, Debi
I put apple in chicken salad, but have never tried it in tuna. I'll have too!
ReplyDeleteSounds delish! Tuna is a great sandwich and you can do so many different things to tuna to crank of the volume. Hubby likes his plain... I say the more stuff you put in it the better!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! I'm going to make it and take with me to work for lunch. Thanks for the idea!

Oh Honey - you made me tear up.
ReplyDeleteMy mom always put apples in her tuna fish. I never even thought of making it differently until I was in high school. I had a friend that everytime she came over asked to have tuna fish sandwiches with apples.
My mom said she learned to make it that way when she was in Germany - shortly after she married my father.
Tuna with apples will always bring memories of my mom.
Wish I had a sandwich right now, looks so good :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite tuna salad recipes is to add apple and chopped pecans - nummy!
