Subway Classic Tuna
By Todd Wilbur
Out of the corner of my eye I've been watching the stack of requests for this one grow tall over the years. I keep telling myself, "Why start off on a journey down a dead end road, Bub? It's just tuna and mayo... hardly a Top Secret Recipe." Then one summer day I find myself at a hole-in-the-wall Subway shop talking to a dame behind the counter. She isn't giving up any recipes that afternoon but she is willing to give me two large tuna subs with absolutely nothing else on them. That's right, I like 'em plain, sister. This way, when I'm back at the lab, it's just me and the tuna. One-on-one, Man-to-fish. After a few hours -- and and a couple of stiff drinks --I decide there is indeed more to this sandwich filler than just tuna and a creamy mother sauce. It looks to me like we have a Top Secret Recipe here after all. So, if you're a fan of Subway's Classic Tuna, here's a TSR formula that will produce enough tuna to fill three 6-inch subs. Just grab two 12-ounce cans of tuna, and make sure the can says, "chunk light tuna in water." After you mix up all the ingredients and give the tuna a real good chill in the box, load it up on your favorite sandwich rolls. I like mine real crusty. Add tomatoes, onions, lettuce, or whatever else you fancy when you're looking to fill that hole in your stomach after a day on the job. Kick off your shoes and dig into this overdue classic from America's largest sandwich shop. After all, you asked for it.
24 ounces chunk light tuna in water, drained
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir vigorously to break chunks of tuna. Chill until cold.
2. Use an ice cream scoop to serve two scoops of tuna on each 6-inch sub roll.
Makes enough tuna for three 6-inch sandwiches.
