Prep 15 minutes
The sweet crunch of apples mixed with tangy relish gives this southern apple tuna salad sandwich a lively bite that feels light yet satisfying. I love it on toasted sourdough — the flavors pop and the texture stays fresh (honestly, it’s hard not to go back for seconds).

Ingredients

  • 3 5 ounce cans tuna in water, drained
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 small apple - peeled cored, and chopped, (lemon juice will keep the apple from turning brown.)
  • 3 - 4 tablespoons sweet pickle relish according to your taste
  • 3 boiled eggs cutup
  •  

Method

  1. Stir all ingredients together in a bowl until evenly mixed. You can serve immediately, though it tastes much better after being refrigerated overnight.

Notes

I usually serve mine on a sandwich and not in a salad.
Optional:
  • 1/4 cup pecans, cutup
  • 1/4 cup celery, cutup
