Tuna Salad Sandwich
by Roger Kimpton
The perfect tuna sandwich is a delicate balance of mayonnaise, herbs, spices and tuna. The Heminways' version adds capers for a special punch, but they may be omitted to satisfy the smallest palates.
12 ounces white Albacore tuna in water, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 scallions, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped,
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
Ground pepper to taste
1. Flake tuna with a fork.
2. Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.
3. Prepare sandwiches at the picnic site to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Yield: Makes 2 sandwiches.
**Excellent additions to any tuna sandwich include romaine lettuce, watercress, thin slices of dill pickle, or thin slices of tomato.
