Martha’s favorite tuna salad sandwich is a lunchtime classic. She uses good-quality tuna packed in oil and adds finely diced apple and celery for crunch. Light mayo and lemon juice bring it all together. Make like Martha and serve the tuna salad on thinly sliced, toasted (or not!) sourdough bread.

Ingredients

12 ounces good-quality tuna, packed in oil, drained
2 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 apple, such as McIntosh or Gala, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch pieces
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise, preferably Ojai Cook's Lemonaise Light
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 slices best-quality sourdough

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine tuna, celery, apple, mayonnaise, basil, and lemon juice; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
On a work surface, divide tuna salad among 4 slices bread; top with remaining 4 slices bread. Serve.
