Tuna Salad Sandwiches


Today, I’d like to share with you my recipe for Tuna Salad Sandwiches. Well, I usually try to avoid using canned meat or fish to prepare meals for my family. However, I made some exceptions for good quality canned tuna and sardines when it comes to sandwich fillings. I would ensure lots of diced fresh veggies are added to the flaked filling mixture to make it as healthy as possible. This version of my tuna salad sandwich recipe was concocted many years ago, back when I was a student living in NYC. Gosh, it’s been that long!! :-) Ever since, it’s been pretty popular with family and friends who have tasted it. So, I thought I would share it with you, if you like tuna salad sandwiches. Have a go at my easy recipe and tell me what you think! Enjoy.

    Looks delicious. Have you tried adding celery? I always add a stalk or two for crunch. Never thought about bell peppers but will try it for the weekend. Nice lunch with chips and lemonade!

    Looks wonderful- and not a piece of celery (which I hate) in sight.

    I normally dislike tuna sandwiches, but this one looks really nice. Especially with the addition of peppers.

    I'm weird because I add avocado and baby spinach! I think the bell pepper would come out really good too if it is roasted.

    Try tuna, Peppadew (piquanté) peppers with avocado and red onion and lemon.

    Dice onion, mash in the avocado and add enough tuna so it becomes 2 parts tuna 1 part avocado.

    Add Peppadew (piquanté) peppers to taste and season with lemon and black pepper.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
