    Prepare the Tuna Salad

    In a mixing bowl, combine the drained albacore tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, diced dill pickles, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay out two slices of seven-grain bread. Generously spread the tuna salad over one slice and top with lettuce and tomato slices. Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve it with a side of potato chips.
