  • 1 jar Vlasic Kosher Dill Chips
  • Half tsp onion powder

INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHUNK LIGHT TUNA IN WATER:

  • It provides lean protein and a savory flavor that pairs nicely with the tangy pickle chips. Drain the tuna well so the filling doesn’t turn watery. You can use canned salmon if you prefer.

MAYONNAISE:

  • We use mayonnaise to create a creamy texture and bind the ingredients together nicely. As another option, you could use Greek yogurt.

CELERY:

  • It brings a fresh, crispy texture to the tuna filling. Celery has a mild flavor that preserves the richness of the mayonnaise. Swap the celery for diced cucumber as an alternative.

KOSHER DILL PICKLE CHIPS:

  • They form the outside of the mini sliders and add a crunchy texture. These chips have a salty flavor that goes well with the creamy tuna filling. You can substitute reduced-sodium dill pickle chips.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, dice the celery and red onion into equal pieces, then open the tuna can.
  2. Press the lid gently and remove the extra water, then put the drained tuna in the bowl.
  3. Break the tuna into small pieces, then mix with mayonnaise, celery, red onion, and seasoning in the bowl.
  4. Take the pickle chips from the jar, then arrange them on the towels and dry both sides.
  5. Put half of the pickle chips flat on the plate and include a small portion of tuna salad.
  6. Add another pickle chip on the tuna salad portions and make the mini sandwiches.
  7. Lastly, arrange the sliders on the plate and serve them cold.
