Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 sub rolls (6-inch), split
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced thin
  • 1/4 red onion, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Method
 

  1. Drain the tuna well and flake it with a fork, then fold in the mayonnaise and black pepper until glossy and coated.
  2. Toast the split rolls at 400°F (200°C) for about 4 minutes, until golden at the edges, adding cheese in the last minute if using.
  3. Layer lettuce, tomato, onion, and cucumber over the toasted rolls.
  4. Mound the tuna mixture over the vegetables, top with pickle slices, and close the sandwiches.

Notes

If you're making this for a few people, mix the tuna salad ahead and keep it chilled, then toast the rolls and assemble right before serving so nothing gets soggy. Draining the tuna properly is the one step that makes or breaks the texture here.
