How to Make a Tuna Salad Sandwich
Tuna is one of the most effective dieting foods. One can easily lose significant amount of weight on a tuna diet. It is a healthy yet tasty food, and becomes even more delicious in a sandwich.
Instead of buying unhealthy burgers from the markets, you should go for the homemade tuna salad sandwich – something nutritiously rich.
The tuna salad sandwich is probably one of the easiest recipes on earth. After getting the required ingredients, you need no more than five minutes to prepare it.
The procedure starts with the canned tuna. However, if you have cooked tuna steaks, don’t hesitate to use them. Those who eat tuna for dieting should use the one packed in water. However, the rest can easily enjoy the one packed in olive oil. You can always add extra virgin oil by yourself.
