Equipment

  • Mixing bowl medium to large
  • Spoon or spatula for mixing
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Small pot for boiling eggs
  • Bread knife for slicing the rolls

Ingredients

  • 2 cups tuna canned
  • 2 eggs hard-boiled and diced
  • 1 stalk asparagus finely chopped
  • 1 cup onion
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • ¼ cup relish
  • 1 tbsp black pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp curry powder optional
  • 1 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

For the Tuna Salad:

  • Grab a Mixing Bowl: Use a large mixing bowl to make sure you have enough space to combine everything without spilling.
  • Add the Tuna and Eggs: Gently mix your pre-cooked tuna with the diced hard-boiled eggs. This forms the creamy base.
  • Incorporate the Veggies: Add in your finely chopped asparagus and red onion. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
  • Flavor it Up: Drizzle in the olive oil, sprinkle in the pepper and curry powder, and stir in the relish.
  • Add the Mayo: Finally, fold in the mayonnaise until your desired level of creaminess is achieved.
  • Chill or Serve: You can serve it right away or refrigerate it for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

To Make a Jersey Mike’s Tuna Sub:

  • Choose Your Bread: Traditional white sub rolls (around 7.5 inches) work best.
  • Cut the Roll in Half: Slice horizontally to open the bread.
  • Layer Your Veggies: Add crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and more red onions if you like.
  • Pile on the Tuna Salad: Add a generous layer of your homemade tuna mixture.
  • Top and Serve: Layer on more veggies or even a slice of cheese, close it up, and enjoy your homemade sub!

Tips

  • Don’t Overdo the Vinegar: If using vinegar or relish, add slowly and taste as you go. Too much can overpower the flavors.
  • Go Green: Swap out mayo with mashed avocado or Greek yogurt for a healthier spin.
  • Add Crunch: Toss in celery, diced pickles, or even sunflower seeds for added texture.
  • Fresh is Best: Use fresh vegetables and high-quality tuna for maximum flavor and nutrition.
  • Chill Before Serving: Letting your tuna salad rest in the fridge for 30 minutes helps all the flavors come together beautifully.
