Summer Tuna Sandwich

A tuna sandwich with an iced tea and lemon wedge is so refreshing on a hot summer day. But the tuna has to be just right. It needs to have a bit of crunch, a little sweetness, and not too much mayo.

And I love this recipe that calls for crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges. It's slightly adjusted from a tuna recipe my friend Michele {an amazing cook} gave me. Enjoy!

1 {20 oz} can crushed pineapple-drained
2 {12 oz} cans sold white tuna-drained
1 {1 oz} can mandarin orange segments-drained
1 {8 oz} can water chestnuts-drained and chopped
1 cup light mayo
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Gently mix above ingredients and chill. Serve on whole wheat bread with fresh lettuce.
