Tuna Salad Sandwich
This is your classic tuna sandwich recipe, one that Local Roots recipe developer, Irena Huang, ate quite frequently as a kid. She believes that a thoughtfully prepared tuna sandwich may be the most satisfying meal ever, and the best part is that it can be prepared in a mere fifteen minutes. Fresh herbs and good quality bread are a must here. The rest will come together automatically, kind of like magic. Except it's a tuna sandwich.
Serves 1-2
Ingredients
1 can tuna, drained from oil or water
1 Tbsp. parsley and or dill, chopped
2 hard boiled Local Roots eggs (boiled for eight minutes)
2 tsp. minced shallot or Local Roots red onion
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. lemon zest (optional)
2 pieces good bread, toasted
Salt
Pepper
Directions
1. In a medium sized bowl, mash boiled eggs.
