As a kid, I was a picky eater. I didn't like anything green, and I didn't like anything with mayonnaise. But then my mom made me a tuna salad sandwich on celery sticks, and everything changed. The celery added a nice crunch, and the mayonnaise was mixed with tuna salad so that it wasn't too overpowering. I've been hooked ever since.
The tuna salad sandwich is a classic American dish, but it can be a little bit boring. This recipe adds a bit of crunch and freshness with celery sticks, and the mayonnaise is mixed with tuna salad so that it's not too overpowering. The result is a delicious and refreshing sandwich that's perfect for a quick lunch or snack.
