1 large can white albacore tuna packed in water, drained and drained again!
8 sweet pickles, chopped fine
2 green onions, chopped fine
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 hard boiled egg, chilled, peeled and chopped fine
2-4 tablespoons butter
1 slice Muenster cheese
1 slice extra sharp cheese
4 slices frozen potato bread

• Drain the tuna in a fine mesh sieve and then use a spoon to mash all the water out again! Drying out the tuna is crucial.
• In a mixing bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Chop the sweet pickles and green onions extremely fine.
• Fold tuna, pickles and onions into Mayonnaise mixture.
• Chop egg finely and fold into mixture.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter on griddle over medium high heat. Add more as necessary to keep from burning.
• Toast all 4 slices of bread while still frozen*.
• When butter is melted lay all 4 slices in butter and top 2 slices with muenster and the other 2 slices with the sharp cheddar. Allow them to heat through, melting the cheese.
• Add the tuna to 2 slices and close them up.
• Continue cooking until golden on all sides and heated through.

tuna salad sandwiches with Sweet and Sour Tomatoes & Snow Peas

2 cans solid white albacore tuna, drained
1 rib celery, minced
2 green onions, sliced thin
3 sweet pickles, finely chopped
1/8-1/4 cup mayonnaise
salt & pepper
tomato slices
juice of 1 lemon
fresh croissants**
jack cheese (optional)
sliced avocado (optional)

• Drain tuna very well.
• Mince celery, slice green onions and chop sweet pickles.
• Toss all together and sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
• Add mayonnaise as need to desired consistency.
• Slice open croissants*
• Put a slice of tomato on the bottom.
• Add a heaping scoop tuna salad.
• Add a thin slice of jack cheese.
• Place a thin slice of avocado on top of cheese. If you can’t find a good firm, but ripe avocado just mush it up with a little lemon juice, salt and pepper and it tastes great.

**If you can’t get fresh croissants (like I normally can’t here) any fresh, soft bakery bun is a good substitute. This time I found these great “SQUARE” croissants which are great for sandwiches.
