Ingredients
- 2 cans canned tuna (in water)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup celery (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices sliced sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 8 pieces sliced black olives
- 1 small carrot (optional, for decoration)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the mayonnaise, finely diced celery, dill pickle, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna, and mix well until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter, cut out ghost shapes from the slices of sandwich bread. Ensure you have matching pairs for each sandwich.
Step 4
Spread a generous amount of tuna mixture onto one ghost-shaped bread slice, then top with another slice to form a sandwich.
Step 5
Using sliced black olives, create spooky eyes on the ghost-shaped sandwiches by gently pressing one piece of olive into each 'face.'
Step 6
If desired, slice the carrot into thin rounds or small shapes to make 'pumpkin noses' or other decorations for your ghosts. Attach these with a tiny dab of tuna mixture as 'glue.'
Step 7
Pack the Tuna Spook Sandwiches into a lunchbox, and pair with your favorite fruits or veggies for a balanced Halloween-themed meal.
