Description
This homemade version of the Joe & The Juice Tunacado sandwich features a delicious blend of tuna mousse, creamy avocado, and crisp vegetables on thin, toasted whole grain bread.
Ingredients
- 1 (5-ounce) can tuna in water, drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- Handful of fresh spinach or arugula
- Olive oil or butter, for grilling (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth to create the tuna mousse.
- Thinly slice the bread if not already sliced. Optionally, grill or toast the bread slices for extra crunch using olive oil or butter in a pan.
- On one slice of bread, spread a generous amount of the tuna mousse.
- Layer with sliced avocado, tomato, and spinach or arugula.
- Top with the second slice of bread and press gently.
- Optional: Grill the assembled sandwich in a panini press or skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until crisp and heated through.
- Cut in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a food processor for an ultra-smooth tuna mousse.
- Adjust mustard or lemon to taste for extra zing.
- Add chili flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Use gluten-free bread to make this gluten-free.
