Tuna Salad Sandwich with Capers and Pickles
When I was working at the Center for Culinary Development, we all had our own way of making a tuna salad sandwich. My favorite tuna salad sandwich always included pickles.

Great recipe…. Where are the fur babies???? Miss you on QVC.
I’ve never tried radishes in my tuna! Or the capers! I will add some when I make mine today! Mary
This will put a little kick in your tuna sandwich. Definitely will try this.
Have you ever tried it with dill pickles? I’m not a fan of sweet.
Hi Terry. I have made it with both kinds of pickles and they both are good in this recipe.
I add onions, dill pickle relish, chopped peperocinis, green olives, a little mayo, squirt of mustard to my tuna salad mix.
I like your version.
I’m making this Tuna Salad as soon as I get the capers an pickles. Sounds delish!
I’ll try adding radishes next time. For my tuna salad, I use tuna packed in olive oil (drained) and I also add about 1/4 c (drained) sauerkraut. Gives the taste a little zip. I also add a little chopped scallions (maybe 1 T.)
You left out the red onion mentioned in the description. How much do you recommend adding?
The recipe does not call for red onions. You can add a couple tablespoons of chopped red onion if you like.
BJC, this is the best tuna salad recipe. So tasty and different! We made the recipe as shown but unfortunately we didn’t have radishes. I’m sure they would have given the tuna salad an extra layer of deliciousness. Next time. All around scrumptious recipe. Thanks!
