The Best Tuna Salad You Will Ever Eat


1 can tuna, drained
1/8 cup mayo
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 of an apple, chopped to about the same size as the celery
3 strips of bacon, diced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt & Pepper
2 to 4 slices of bread
1 to 2 lettuce leaves

Fry the bacon bits until they are very crispy, then drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
Mix together the tuna, mayo, celery, apple, lemon juice and salt & pepper in a bowl. Once the bacon has cooled a bit, add that in too. Stir to combine all ingredients until everything is well coated in the mayo.
This really makes enough for two sandwiches - scoop the mixture onto a slice of bread. Top with a crisp lettuce leaf and another slice of bread. Serve with some fresh fruit on the side, and enjoy!

*I came across this recipe when Evan and I were vacationing in Concord, MA. We stopped in a little deli to grab lunch, and I had a tuna sandwich similar to this one. It was a normal tuna sandwich, but it had apple pieces in it. The sweetness of the apple went so well with the tuna and the crunchy celery it was incredible. When I got home, I tried the recipe on my own, and turned the volume up by adding bacon to it. Everything works together in harmony - the crispy salty bacon, with the sweet fresh apples, and the crunchy celery with the hearty tuna. YUM YUM!!
