I love a good tuna sandwich, but sometimes I like a tuna sandwich with a bit of crunch. So, I added some coleslaw to the recipe, a few other bits-and-bobs, and there you go. This recipe will make two yummy, crunchy tuna sandwiches. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sandwich essentials: awesome tuna and coleslaw

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

It is no secret that my favorite tuna is Wild Planet… Not just because they are sustainably fished, but it tastes so dang good. If you can get it, I would suggest you give it a try. Regardless of your choice, make sure it is water packed. https://www.wildplanetfoods.com
Step 3

The coleslaw I am using is a typical variety, much like a Kentucky coleslaw. Here is the recipe that I used: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/andy-s-amazing-coleslaw.html?r=3
Step 4

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 5

Drain the tuna, add to a bowl with the other sandwich ingredients, and lightly toss, until just combined.
Step 6

Chef’s Note: If you substitute white pepper, for the black, you will get more of a “sweet” heat. In addition, if you add a dash or two Frank’s hot sauce, you will give it a bit of a savory kick that goes quite well with the coleslaw.
Step 7

Divide the tuna, and add half each to the bottom of two toasted buns.
Step 8

Chef’s Tip: I added some butter lettuce leaves to the toasted buns for two reasons: First, I like butter lettuce. Second, it insulates the bun from the tuna, and helps keep it from getting soggy.
Step 9

If you want to kick it up, add two thinly-sliced tomatoes, top with a piece of provolone, and stick under a broiler, for about 30 seconds. Mmmmmm.
Step 10

Chef’s Tip: If you are using the tomatoes, sprinkle a bit of salt, and black pepper on them before adding the provolone. Tomatoes just beg for salt and black pepper.
Step 11

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 12

Serve with chips or fries, a nice pickle (sweet or dill), and maybe a few tall cold ones. Enjoy.
Step 13

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
