I came across this recipe when I was in search of a great tuna salad recipe. I was hankering for a tuna melt sandwich like no other. I really loved it, but of course, made a few modifications. The most noticeable will be the substitution of onion flakes and garlic powder for the real thing. I always like real over fake. Who wants fake?
The other major difference is the absence of pickle relish. I have a strict policy against mixing mayonnaise with sweet pickles. To me, sweet pickles and salad dressing (or Miracle Whip) belong in a happy cocoon of mutual admiration. Where as, mayonnaise is having its own little party somewhere else.
Ingredients
- 1 (7 ounce) can white tuna, drained and flaked
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the tuna, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and onion. Season with curry powder, parsley, dill and garlic. Mix well
- Toast on two pieces of hearty multigrain bread with a piece of American cheese.
- Easy peasy!

I am so proud to have contributed to your culinary skills!!
I vouch for the awesomeness of this meal. Also good with corn tortillas. And it's so simple, even I can do it. When I'm really lazy (which is most of the time), I'll just add the mayo, dill, onion powder and curry powder to tuna and eat it straight from the pouch.
