I love cheddar waffles (or chaffles) as well as tuna salad sandwiches. Combining the two makes for an incredible lunchtime stack. The dill pickles in both the waffles and salad add extra crunch and flavor. —Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cans light tuna in water (5 ounces each), well drained
  • 1 celery rib, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup diced dill pickle, divided
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat waffle maker. In a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise and cream cheese until smooth. Add tuna, celery, onion, parsley, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons diced pickles. Set aside.
