Tuna Sandwich With Mayo – We love making tuna sandwiches because they are quick to prepare. They also taste amazing and are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! This recipe is so good that it will make you want to eat them every day.
Tuna sandwiches are great for lunch or dinner. The key to making these tasty sandwiches is in the bread. Try using whole wheat bread instead of white bread.
A typical tuna sandwich contains about 150 calories. That’s not bad if you are looking for something light. But if you want to lose weight, you’ll need to cut back on the mayonnaise.
This recipe has been one of our favorites since we were kids. My mom used to make tuna sandwiches with mayonnaise. It was so good! She would use regular mayo, and not light mayo. I still make them today, and I think they are even better than she did.
So here’s my recipe for a delicious Tuna Sandwich with Mayonnaise. Hope you enjoy it!
