[edit] 1 Ingredients and preparation

Generally consisting of canned tuna, either chunk light or chunk white, tuna fish sandwiches have a quick and easy preparation, usually no more than ten minutes to prepare the tuna salad and a couple more for garnishing. The tuna is mixed with mayonnaise to make a salad with various different vegetables included according to taste; some of the popular being onions and celery. The salad is mixed in a large bowl and either left to chill for some time or served immediately on sandwich bread. Any type of bread will work but most prefer either plain white bread or Rye bread, which can be left either chilled from the fridge, room temperature from a bread basket, or lightly toasted. Many people also choose to add lettuce and tomatoes on top of the salad and some even go as far as sliced cheese and condiments like ketchup.
