What Makes Our Tuna Salad Different?

Unlike many fast-food chains that use pre-mixed, shelf-stable tuna, Jersey Mike’s sticks to a traditional recipe that focuses on texture and authentic flavor.

• Real Tuna Blend: We use a combination of albacore and light tuna to achieve a balance between a mild flavor and a hearty, meaty texture.
• Hand-Chopped Celery: We add freshly chopped celery in-store to provide a distinct, refreshing crunch that offsets the creaminess of the mayo.
• Simple Seasoning: A light touch of black pepper is all we add, allowing the natural flavor of the tuna to be the star of the sandwich.
