This didn’t taste like a Panera dupe at all. Not remotely close even – I was disappointed.
I used a little plain Greek yoghurt with less mayo and it was great. I just love Panera’s tuna and considering I just about live on my own tuna recipe, I wondered what their secret was. Thanks! Gray Poupon mustard it is! Now, if I could only get the perfect recipe for their Autumn Squash soup……..
The very best Panara tuna salad saldwich I have ever had was at their location on Coliseum Blvd. in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it had a rather loose (goopy) tuna filling. With only 1 1/2 tsp mayonaise in this recipe, is it rather dry?
I made it and yes it was dryer than actual Panera. I think a full tablespoon is a closer consistency for sure. Unless you dont drain the tuna well, which is nasty :)
These sound good. I am going to try it with capers instead of pickle relish.
I am actually working on the weight watchers program. Does the recipe make two servings or 1? Thank you for sharing such a simple and low fat recipe.
SHould the measurements be tablespoons not teaspoons? Seemed very dry!
I agree…that’s not nearly enough mayonnaise…
Can I use something else instead of relish
If I don’t have relish is there anything you can use .
Chopped up pickles.
Dill relish. I keep it in the refrigerator all of the time to make tuna salad. I also add celery and a boiled egg.
How does the hard boiled egg change it or make it better? I love deli style tuna and I have never been able to replicate it. 😊
Looks so yummy! Thank you for sharing.
Honey mustard is the key to paneras recipe!
Yummy – what a nice sandwich! The bread looks really delicious, too! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Blessings, Janet
This has to be the simplest tuna salad on the face of the planet! BUT….a I’ve added diced celery (very small dice) to give it a nice crunch texture and a small amount of celery salt .
Another addition to the salad is angel hair coleslaw! Double your recipe the add 2 handfuls of the angel hair coleslaw and mix well….everyone I’ve made it for loved it.
That looks so good and I haven’t had tuna salad in far too long!
Is it right teaspoon for mustard, mayonnaise, relish and not tablespoons?
I agree it was too dry for only teaspoons. I ended up putting in more of every thing.
Yes, way to dry.
That’s a 6 or 7 oz can ( standard regular size) you can see it in the photo at the top
Tuna is package of how many ounces?
Thank you for sharing this recipe. My kids love Panera and I think they’ll love this sandwich. I hope you don’t mind if I share this on a sandwich round-up with a link back.
These are delicious! Best tuna sandwich we ever tasted!! Hubby loved them. Thanks!
thank you.cant wait to try these sand.
I feel the same way about the same way about those Panera tuna sandwiches!!! Can’t wait to try this!!
thanks for the great “secret”! can’t wait to make this!
Don’t waste your time. I followed the recipe to the letter & it tastes NOTHING like Panera’s?? It didn’t specify what “kind” of tuna so I’m just assuming the regular canned. If it’s albacore it may make a difference I don’t know because there’s no information about that one way or the other. I do know this is a LONG way from Panera’s recipe. Not even close!
This looks so yummy!!! Thanks for sharing!
Why in the world would you comment on a recipe you haven’t EVEN TRIED
Get a life and stop wasting my time.
