Tuna Salad Sandwich

Tuna Salad is one of my very favorites.  Whether I use it to make a sandwich, or just enjoying a scoop with some rice crackers.   Usually I make the familiar recipe of tuna, mayonnaise, celery, and seasoning.  Recently, I found a tasty recipe on Simply Recipes website.

In this recipe, canned tuna is combined with mayonnaise, celery, cottage cheese, capers,  parsley, and some lemon juice.   At first I wasn't too sure about the cottage cheese but it gave the tuna salad flavor and texture.  The  one change I made in this recipe was substituting onion powder (1 teaspoon) for the diced onions.  I am not a fan of onions in my sandwiches.

This was one of the best recipes for tuna salad.  In fact, it has become my go to recipe.  Try it, I think you will enjoy it.
