Ingredients
- 170 g (5oz) tuna drained. I always use tuna in oil but tuna in brine is lower in calories.
- ½ avocado
- 4 tbsp herbs I used fresh basil and chives but oregano, dill or parsley will also be delicious.
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 Jalapeño
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice/lime juice
- salt and black pepper to taste
For the sandwich
- 4 slices bread of your choice
- 1 cup greens rocket/arugula, baby spinach, watercress or lettuce.
- cucumber sliced
Instructions
- Make the tuna filling by combining the avocado, yogurt, herbs, jalapeño and a squeeze of lemon in the bowl of a food processor.
- Mix until smooth. Add the tuna and pulse a few times until combined.
- To make the sandwich, add a generous scoop of tuna to a slice of bread then top with fresh rocket/arugula and thin slices of cucumber.
- Sandwich with another slice of bread, slice and serve.
