My thoughts:
Tuna salad seems to have earned the reputation as a déclassé stinky, soggy, and tasteless last choice lunch. Once the staple of ladies luncheons and drugstore lunch counters is it is now passed over for panini and other trendy fare. I say, embrace the tuna sandwich. It is easy, economical and with a thorough draining, fresh ingredients, and a deft hand it can once again be a tasty lunch time favorite.
if i had to pick one sandwitch only to eat for the rest of my life it would be tuna. yummm, this looks fab w/ capers!
ReplyDeleteI don't ever make my own tuna salad - but it eat it ALL the time at Whole Foods. They have it two ways that I prefer: classic and with cranberries - terrific.

Tuna salad is one of those things that I don't make often enough and I don't know why that is because when ever I make it, I really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteYours looks like a particularly elegant version. I've never had it with capers but what a great idea -- I'll bet it's delicious.
I love tuna salad sandwiches! My boss sometimes buys sandwiches for the office for lunch - tuna salad on cheese croissants from a deli by his house. So good.
ReplyDeleteI love tuna salad too. And with the addition of capers OMG you are a genius. I'm going to fight the winter storm watch crowd and find me some of the Annies goddess dressing tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeletei love tuna salad sandwiches and tuna melts...nothing wrong with that! and i've just whipped up a huge jar of my own version of goddess dressing....looks like i'll try some of it in a sandwich for once!
