My 8 year old daughter, who aspires to be a chef when she grows up, created this in the kitchen one day for her friends to eat. I was horrified as I watched her mix ingredients I thought should never go together. But her friends absolutely loved it. Needless to say, I had to try it myself and was astonished at the creation she had made. So I sat down with her and measured it out to perfection to create her very first master recipe! We love to make this from time to time with sandwich bread or crackers! Her friends always ask her to make it when they come over. Her name is Eternity, remember it, cause one day she will be the next Rachel Ray! P.S. The recipe calls for Basil Pesto. We buy the already made in a jar basil pesto from "Classico". We have not yet tried it with any other basil pesto recipe.

A tuna salad and potato chip sandwich may not be quite as classic a pairing as peanut butter and jelly, but it is, anecdotally, many middle-schoolers' first forays into experimenting with flavors and textures, and no less delicious. Beyond crunch, chips also add stability to the sandwich, holding the tuna salad in place as you eat. There's no wrong way to make the sandwich, but seasoning tuna salad with red onion and celery, plenty of olive oil and little lemon juice, and using kettle-style salt and vinegar potato chips are especially alluring. There's the word "optional" next to the most optional ingredients, but consider every ingredient other than the tuna, bread and chips to be adaptable according to your own taste (or how your mom made it).

Though an American cook (or even a French one) usually adds mayonnaise to the bowl when dressing canned tuna for a sandwich, Italian cooks invariably anoint theirs with olive oil instead. Capers, olives and anchovy often join the festivities; here they are combined with garlic and parsley to make a zesty salsa verde. Choose the best quality Italian or Spanish canned tuna-the extra cost is well worth it. The other essential ingredient is freshly baked bread, like a good crisp baguette or crusty ciabatta roll.
