Dear SOS: We were returning from a new year’s trip to Sedona and were delayed four hours at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. The saving grace was the best tuna sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Hard to imagine something so simple was so outstanding. The sandwich was from La Grande Orange cafe at the airport. The tuna had large chunks of fish, golden raisins and what I think was sweet pickle relish. The sandwich had fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumbers and lettuce, and it was on a toasted nine-grain (or was it 12?) bread. The combination was delicious. Do you think they would share the recipe?

Dear Frima: The tuna salad comes together in minutes and is great served either as a sandwich or on its own. La Grande Orange was happy to share its recipe, which you can find below.
