Friendship Sandwich

This sandwich is made of recipes I adopted from two friends, and I decided to bring them together, and call this a friendship sandwich!

The tuna recipe I got from Felicia, and it's the most sound, healthy tuna I've ever had. It's for definitely a recipe for veggie lovers.

The spread I took from Liz, who told me about a liking she has for cream cheese and olives, which I was thinking about all day after she told me.

Both of these things were on my mind and I decided to turn them into a sandwich, because sammiches are just so good.

Felicia's Tuna Salad


Here's What You Need
1 can of tuna
5 leaves romaine lettuce
5 baby gherkin dills/2 medium dills/1 large dill pickles
1/2 stalk celery
1 forkful of mayonnaise
couple dashes of garlic salt and lemon pepper
*4 rings banana peppers/pepperocinis [optional]
*mustard [optional]

Here's What You Do
Drain your tuna so there's no water at all.
Mix the forkful of mayonnaise into the tuna. Don't worry, it's supposed to be relatively dry. If you think it is too dry, add just a little, but the key to this recipe is the crunch. If using, put a squirt of mustard.
Shred the lettuce to a quarter inch length and toss in with the tuna.
Slice the pickles and the celery into small chunks. Not too thick, and not too thin, and not chopped fine either. Throw into the tuna.
If using, chop the banana peppers real small.
Put a bit of both garlic salt and lemon pepper into the mix.
Stir until well mixed.


Liz's Olive & Cream Cheese Spread



Here's What You Need
1/4 cup fat free cream cheese
~5-6 green olives with pimentos
1 clove garlic
black pepper

Here's What You Do
Chop olives finely.
Break garlic clove by smashing the flat end of a large blade over it and chopping into small pieces.
Put both ingredients into cream cheese until well mixed. Sprinkle with black pepper


Assembly

Here's What You Need
Piece of French bread, however hungry you are, cut sub style
Felicia's Tuna Salad
Liz's Olive & Cream Cheese

Here's What You Do
Toast the bread in a toaster or an oven until slightly crispy and really warm. Spread dip on one side, and fill with tuna salad.

Put This In Your Mouth... and you'll have to watch for garlic breath after, but it's totally worth it.
