Though you consider yourself spontaneous or inventive with your weekday lunches, there are times we crave for a simple egg salad tuna sandwich.
I know it’s one of my comfort food and it’s been ages since I made my last egg tuna salad sandwich. How about you, when was the last time you had an egg tuna salad?
My husband loves tuna sandwich for his lunch, and as for him, an egg tuna salad is merely a mix of mayonnaise, black pepper, and he’s good to go.
But for me, I want my sandwich to have some crunch to balance the mayo, so I added sweet pickle relish and chopped onions (you can add chopped celery as well, your choice).
I like the taste of sweet and sour pickle relish though maybe some of you never tried, trust me, you should try it – they add something extra to each bite.
Surely, sandwiches are just one of the options you can make with this egg tuna salad. You can add macaroni on it for a side dish, or you can nibble it on top of crackers which is also one of my favorite afternoon snacks.

Water-Packed Tuna or Oil-Packed Tuna?
Personally, I like the clean flavor of water-packed tuna. Besides, we are adding enough calories with the use of mayonnaise already, so the water-packed tuna is the best choice.
Anything that saves time and yields something as yummy as this egg tuna sandwich recipe is on my Always List. All the ingredients melded perfectly, without any one flavor dominating. For Tuna Salad Variations: 1.) Use yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter salad. 2.) Use canned salmon or leftover chicken in place of the tuna. 3.) Add raisins, diced apples or dried fruit to the basic recipe. 4) Add diced fennel, shredded cabbage, diced cucumbers, or any other crunchy vegetable. 5.) Add a dash of turmeric, curry powder, paprika, chopped fresh herbs, or any other spice mix in your cupboard. Egg Salad Tuna Sandwich

I rarely used canned tuna. but your recipe sounds so easy and my kind of salad I am going to buy canned tuna and give it try. I like your idea of using tuna in water.
We all a need a good sandwich recipe that is perfect for lunch. This looks delicious and love the pickle relish idea.
Wow this looks delicious! I might just have to make this for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
I love the combination of tuna and eggs in my salad..A always taste great. I love the drizzle of mustard on top.. And those red onions and relish!! My kind of sandwich!
Two of my favorite sandwiches in one! This looks great. My mom used to put pickle relish in tuna. I stopped doing so, but maybe I should try it again.
Boy does that ever look good!! I haven’t had one of those sandwiches in years. Now, we are the opposite. We prefer the Genoa tonno style tuna. We do like the olive oil but we’ll take tuna any way we can get it. Your sandwich looks extra special. Made with TLC.

I am totally going to make this for me and my husband! It looks amazing, I never would have thought to mix tuna with the egg. The RED onions and relish are right up my alley. Thanks for sharing:)
