-----Notes-----

I had eaten tuna sandwiches my entire life and never really enjoyed then until I had one of these!

Variations

Although the onion is optional, it really adds to the sandwich - as long as it is a SWEET onion!

Capers add a tart touch, but just add them to the assembled sandwich, else they will lose their taste if you add them to the tuna mixture.

Try a touch of dill to the mixture!

Service

Potato Chips or Dill Pickle spears are usual accompaniments.

Potato salad goes perfectly with this sandwich as well.
