canned tuna

🥗Healthier: fresh tuna

Fresh tuna is leaner, while sardines are often less expensive.

Drain 6 to 8 cans of tuna very well to avoid a watery texture.

Chop 1 stock of celery finely and place it in a medium-sized clean bowl.

Chop 1 sweet Vidalia onion finely and add it to the bowl with the celery.

Add the drained tuna to the bowl with the celery and onion.

Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Add 2 pinches of sugar to enhance flavor without making it sweet.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the celery and onion are incorporated throughout.

Preheat the oven to 350°F for the garlic bread.

Prepare the garlic bread (Texas toast) and place it in the oven, flipping halfway through cooking for even toasting.

Add a handful of thawed fresh sweet peas to the tuna mixture and mix well.

Start adding mayonnaise gradually to the mixture, stirring to combine and checking for desired creaminess.
