That sandwich looks incredibly fresh and satisfying! The combination of creamy avocado with the crunch of red onion and the acidity of the tomatoes is a classic for a reason.
If you’re looking to recreate this exact "Avocado Tuna Salad Sandwich," here is a quick guide to getting that perfect texture and flavor.
The Perfect Avocado Tuna Salad
Ingredients:
Protein: 1 can of tuna (drained).
The Creaminess: 1 ripe avocado (mashed). Pro-tip: This replaces mayo for a healthier, heartier fat.
The Crunch: Finely diced red onion and celery.
Brightness: A squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice (this also keeps the avocado from browning).
Herbs: Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.
Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
Assembly Instructions
Prep the Filling: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the citrus juice. Fold in the tuna, onion, and herbs until well combined but still slightly chunky.
Toast the Bread: Use a thick-cut whole grain or sourdough. Toast it until golden brown to provide a sturdy base for the heavy filling.
Layering: * Start with a bed of crisp green leaf lettuce (this acts as a barrier so the bread doesn't get soggy).
Add thick slices of vine-ripened tomatoes.
Scoop a generous amount of the tuna avocado mixture on top.
The Finishing Touch: Sprinkle the top slice of bread with black sesame seeds (as seen in your image) for a nice visual pop and an extra nutty flavor.
Variations to Try
Spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a swirl of Sriracha.
Mediterranean: Add chopped kalamata olives and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
Low Carb: Skip the bread and serve the salad in large romaine lettuce cups or hollowed-out bell peppers.
