Sandwich Filling Ingredients- 1 can (small) tuna, drained
- 1/2 apple (a crisp variety is recommended)
- 1/2 small onion
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp mustard sauce
- Pinch of black pepper (approx. 0.2 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the key ingredients for our delicious sandwich filling: the onion and apple. Finely dice the onion and the apple, ensuring to remove the core and seeds from the apple. Aim for small, uniform pieces. Dicing the apple finely will release its refreshing juice with every bite, making the sandwich even more delightful.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the finely diced onion and apple. Add 1 tablespoon of mustard sauce to enhance the flavor profile. Mix these ingredients well. The slight tang from the mustard will cut through any richness and balance the overall taste beautifully.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to add creaminess to our filling. Add 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise to the bowl. Stir everything together until you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture. Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise according to your preference.
Step 4
Season the mixture with a pinch of black pepper, about 0.2 teaspoons or a small dash. This will elevate the savory notes of the tuna and apple. Be mindful not to add too much pepper, as it can overpower the other flavors.
Step 5
Next, prepare the tuna. Drain all the oil from the tuna can thoroughly. This step is crucial for a non-greasy sandwich. Add the drained tuna to the bowl with the other ingredients. Gently break up any large chunks of tuna with a spoon and mix everything together until well combined. (A small can of tuna was used for this recipe.)
Step 6
Now, let’s assemble the sandwich! Take one slice of bread and generously spread the tuna and apple mixture evenly over it. Ensure the filling reaches close to the edges for a satisfying bite in every corner.
Step 7
Finally, top with the second slice of bread. Gently press down to secure the filling. Using a bread knife or a sharp knife, cut the sandwich into your desired portions. Your delicious Tuna Apple Sandwich is now complete! Enjoy it immediately, or pack it for a delightful on-the-go meal.
