“Better than Deli” No Mayo CREAMY Tuna Salad Sandwich

This no mayo creamy tuna salad sandwich is possibly the best tuna sandwich I have ever tasted. We’re talking layers of flavors, simple everyday ingredients, and all done in about 10 minutes. Serve it next to a handful of chips and a couple of ice-cold beers or some chilled club soda for the best moment in your day.

What gives this tuna salad sandwich that creamy goodness is cottage cheese. I used low fat, but you can also use full fat or even nonfat. As for the tuna, I used canned tuna in olive oil. You can also use canned tuna in water if you prefer.

For the bread, I used multigrain sandwich bread. You can use whatever type of bread you like. The most important thing is to make sure you lightly toast the bread. That way, once you add the creamy tuna salad, it doesn’t get mushy and break apart.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve this creamy tuna salad sandwich at room temperature or even chilled. The tuna salad will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
