Tuna Salad Sandwich

In my neck of the woods, lunch-meat is not readily available. I ate way too many PB&J's growing up and got really burnt out on them -I'd be happy never to eat one again. My favorite sandwich is actually a Reuben. I love Rye bread, corned beef, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut, but I can't get ANY of those ingredients here, so I settle for tuna. If you like tuna, then you've got to try this recipe.

Tuna Salad for 4

Combine the following:
1 can tuna (drained)
3 T mayo
1 T Parmesan cheese
3 T pickle relish (OR minced cucumber with 1T white vinegar OR just 1T vinegar)
1/8 t onion powder
1/4 t curry powder
1 T dried parsley
1 t dried dill
1 pinch garlic powder

I like to serve this with lettuce and tomato on my whole wheat bread machine bread, but any bread will do.  The Tuna salad keeps in the fridge for 1- 2 days.

China Tip:
At my local grocery store a can of Century brand tuna costs 14.5 kuai! I noticed last time I was at City Life (万国小厨) they had Bumblebee tuna imported from the US for 11 kuai. It is also sold on Taobao for 9.9 a can. I feel more comfortable with Bumblebee over a local brand...anyone else?
