Green Goddess Tuna Salad Sandwich
So, the other day I was wondering whether there was a better tuna melt. This isn't a tuna melt, but it's definitely a tuna sandwich. It's a good one too. What this also isn't is your mom's green goddess sando. It's much better.

Recipe
Purée basil, parsley, tarragon, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a blender until very smooth and pale green. Transfer dressing to a medium bowl and add tuna. Using a fork, break up tuna and incorporate into dressing.
Mix in celery, shallot, and garlic; season with salt and lots of pepper. Toss chopped mixed herbs with remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle with a little oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss again.
Build sandwiches with English muffins, tuna salad (you may have a bit extra), and herb salad.
