My husband and his buddies love to pack these tasty sandwiches when they go on fishing trips. The tangy tuna salad gets fun flavor from sweet pickle relish and lots of crunch from apples, celery and walnuts. The satisfying sandwiches are a complete meal in themselves. -Ivy Eresmas, Dade City, Florida

I used dill relish, sliced almonds, and scallions as substitutes. This is a fantastic recipe. Once I only had canned chicken and it made a delicious sandwich. Yummy!

This is no ordinary tuna sandwich! Delicious! Easy prep and a nice balance with the apples and nuts. Didn't think this combo of ingredients sounded good but it is. Apples and nuts of course go well together. Super healthy.

Just made this for lunch and it was easy and delicious. I had to skip the celery and walnuts since we were out of those and it was yummy anyway!

Been making this for years, but use dill relish instead of sweet and any apple works.
