• Tuna fish sandwiches are delicious especially if the tuna is made into a salad.tuna salad image by Roslen Mack from Fotolia.com
  
  Tuna sandwiches can be as simple as tuna on two pieces of your favorite bread, or you can add sprouts, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and American cheese and toast it in an oven to make a tuna melt. A very common tuna sandwich is made with tuna salad which opens up a tremendous variety of possibilities.
  
  

Spice It Up

• The recipe for tuna salad that you grew up on or that you developed yourself is always delicious. However, it is simple to spice up the old standby with the addition of some ingredients you may never have considered. Start with albacore tuna, marketed as white meat tuna and generally considered the most flavorful. The addition of grated apple, lemon juice, red onion, diced egg and nutmeg turns and ordinary sandwich into an exotic treat. For an even bigger change, try adding chopped green olives, red onions and honey Dijon mustard to albacore tuna on your favorite bread.
  
  

Bread Choices

• Flatbread or pita bread filled with albacore tuna or your favorite tuna salad is a delicious change of pace. Hawaiian sweet bread complements the mild flavor of tuna salad. And the distinctive flavor of classic San Francisco sourdough bread takes a simple tuna sandwich in a different direction.
  
  

Heat It Up

• A tuna salad melt starts with albacore tuna on the bread of your choice, topped with a variety of ingredients such as red onion, lettuce and sliced tomatoes. It is heated for five minutes in a hot oven, American cheese is added and then the sandwich is heated again to melt the cheese. Make it on a panini grill with rye bread for a special treat.
