Apple Pecan Tuna Salad
- 1 small granny smith apple, unpeeled cored and chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or however much needed to coat apple pieces)
- 1 (5 ounce) can tuna fish, drained (do not use foil packaged, too fishy)
- 2 celery ribs, cleaned and chopped
- 1 tablespoon onion, grated (sweet kind is best)
- 5 tablespoons mayonnaise (we like the flavor and texture of "Real" better than "Lite")
- 1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)
- 1 pinch sugar, to taste
- 1 pinch salt, to taste
- 12 slices whole wheat bread, sandwich sliced
- Chop unpeeled Granny Smith (or any tart, crunchy apple -- Fuji and Gala are also good).
- Sprinkle lemon juice (fresh or bottled) over apples and toss to coat evenly.
- Add drained tuna fish and flake, mixing with apples.
- Add celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Amount of mayonnaise may be adjusted according to texture preference. More crumbly (less mayonnaise) is better to eat with a fork on a lettuce leaf. More "pastey" texture is better for sandwiches.
- Taste, and add a pinch of sugar and salt if needed. (Some apples require a tiny bit of sugar).
