Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. Two 7-ounce cans tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
    2. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    3. 1 celery rib, finely diced
    4. 2 tablespoons minced red onion
    5. 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
    6. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    7. 8 thick slices of bacon (10 ounces)
    8. 8 slices whole-wheat sourdough bread
    9. 8 iceberg lettuce leaves
    10. 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. In a medium bowl, fold the tuna with the mayonnaise, celery, red onion and curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
