Tuna Fish Salad Sandwich

Thick, hearty slices of bread work best to hold the tuna salad. Sturdy whole wheat, sourdough, rye, or pumpernickel bread work well. If you must use regular white bread, you'll want to make sure to toast it to keep it from getting soggy. If you’d like extra veggies in your tuna salad, go for it! Try a 1/4 cup or so of chopped cucumber, zucchini, red bell pepper, carrots, celery, or even fresh greens, such as spinach or arugula. You may have to add more mayo or cottage cheese to get the consistency you want, but it works!
