How to Make Classic Tuna Salad Sandwich

1. Prepare the Tuna

Gently flake the tuna in a medium bowl with a fork, maintaining some chunky texture for bite.

2. Mix Ingredients

Add mayonnaise, celery, red onion, red bell pepper, and capers to the flaked tuna. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Fold all the components together until the salad is cohesive and evenly mixed.

3. Season the Salad

Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting as you go, until the flavors are perfectly balanced.

4. Assemble the Sandwich

Spread a generous portion of the tuna salad onto a slice of bread, then top with another slice of bread to form the sandwich.
