Ingredients

Scale

For the Tuna Salad:

  • 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for a creamier version)

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

For the Sandwich:

  • 2 slices whole grain or multigrain bread (or bread of choice)

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • 1/2 cup mixed greens (such as arugula or spinach)

  • 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup tomato, sliced

  • A drizzle of olive oil (optional, for extra flavor)


Instructions

  1. Make the tuna salad:

    • In a bowl, mix the drained tuna with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. If you prefer a creamier salad, add more Greek yogurt or use mayonnaise.

  2. Assemble the sandwich:

    • Toast the bread slices lightly, if desired.

    • Spread the tuna salad generously onto one slice of bread.

    • Layer with avocado slices, mixed greens, cucumber, and tomato. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for extra richness and flavor, if desired.

    • Top with the second slice of bread.

  3. Serve:

    • Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, or wrap it up for an easy lunch on-the-go.

Notes

  • If you prefer more texture in your tuna salad, you can add finely chopped celery or pickles.

  • You can swap the Greek yogurt for mayonnaise if you want a richer, more classic flavor.

  • This sandwich can also be made with gluten-free bread or a wrap for a gluten-free version.

 

  • For extra flavor, try adding a thin layer of mustard to the bread before assembling the sandwich.
