Martha's Favorite Tuna Salad Sandwich


For the past few weeks, we've been having deli sandwiches for lunch. For a change, we had this today. I was able to use the basil we've been growing on our deck!

Recipe and photo from Martha Stewart.

Makes 4.

  • 12 ounces good-quality tuna, packed in oil, drained
  • 2 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 1 apple, such as McIntosh or Gala, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise, preferably Ojai Cook's Lemonaise Light
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 8 best-quality sourdough

  1. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, celery, apple, mayonnaise, basil, and lemon juice; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. On a work surface, divide tuna salad among 4 slices bread; top with remaining 4 slices bread. Serve.
