Recipe Ingredients:
- 14 oz jarred or canned Italian tuna in olive oil
- ¼ c minced celery
- 2 tbsp minced yellow onion
- 2 tbsp minced cornichons
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp good mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Sourdough bread, halved and sliced ½ inch thick
- Hummus, store-bought or homemade (recipe follows)
- Fresh radishes, sliced
How To Make Tuna & Hummus Sandwiches?
- Blend the ingredients: Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Adjust consistency: Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired texture.
- Taste and refine: Adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Recipe Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Italian tuna in olive oil gives the best flavor and texture. Avoid dry or water-packed tuna, as it won’t blend as smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don’t skip chilling the tuna salad: Letting it rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours allows the flavors to mix and taste even better.
- Toast the bread just right: Make sure the sourdough is golden and crispy to provide a sturdy base for the creamy hummus and tuna salad.
- Slice radishes thinly: Thin slices of radish add a perfect crunch without overpowering the tuna or hummus flavors.
- Save and use the tuna oil: The reserved oil adds richness and enhances the tuna’s flavor in the salad—don’t throw it away!
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the leftover Tuna & Hummus Sandwich filling reach room temperature before storing. Transfer the tuna salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Keep the bread and hummus separate to avoid sogginess.
