Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. During the 1950s and 60s there existed a lunch counter or booths in every major Five-and Dime or Drug store. Usually they had on the menu, Tuna Fish Salad Sandwich. Surprisingly, these sandwiches were always tasty. This is my recipe that comes closest to those good old-fashioned Tuna Fish Salad Sandwiches,
  2. Preparation:
  3. Thoroughly drain* and flake any chunks in the tuna.
  4. Dice and combine the celery, scallion, onion, bread & butter pickles and sweet gherkins until well mixed.
  5. Toss the vegetable mix with the flaked tuna.
  6. Add the diced hard-boiled egg and toss the mixture until all the additives are evenly distributed.
  7. Combine all of the remaining dressing ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  8. Gently fold the dressing into the tuna until the salad is well mixed and homogeneous.
  9. Refrigerate tightly covered until ready to use in salads or sandwiches.
  10. *Note: In draining the tuna you are trying to prevent the tuna salad from becoming soggy. Beware the accumulated amount of liquid in the tuna and the amount of dressing used. This is especially important to prevent the sandwiches from being soggy. Use only enough combine moisture items to keep the tuna salad from making free liquid. The better drained the tuna the more dressing you can use.
