4. Into another bowl, grate the cabbage to make 2 -3 cups. Using about 2 cups of regular Green cabbage along with 1 cup of Red cabbage is recommended.  Keep it to a ‘finely chopped coleslaw texture’ and not long chunky shreds- refer to video.

10. Next, spread a good amount of filling on one of these slices, and a few torn pieces of lettuce on the other.
11. Press together to form your sandwich. Slice and serve!

Tuna Salad Sandwich

Notes:

• Do not grate the bell pepper too finely. A medium grate will work better. Don’t make a paste.
• ∗Refrigerate the tuna after adding the shallots, bell pepper and mayo.. These ingredients act as a gentle marinade and make the filling tastier. Also, refrigerate again once the remaining vegetables are added. Chilled tuna filling is a must for tastier sandwiches.
