Make a double batch of this easy-to-make sandwich if you're feeding a crowd. The tuna salad mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated. Tuna packed in water is best for recipes such as this that mix with mayonnaise. Before mixing the salad, break the tuna gently with a fork. To quickly chop the celery, chop off the leafy ends of the celery and split the it lengthwise, but don't cut all the way down to the base. Keeping the base in tact makes it easier to chop. Split into as many sections as you want, depending on how finely you want it chopped. Serve with apple slices.
