In my effort to include more lean meats, whole grains, and fresh produce for a more balanced lifestyle, I decided to create a Tuna Sandwich with Avocado. My husband and I are big fans of tuna sandwiches, enjoying them at least once a week, although they typically come with mayo or Miracle Whip. While that's fine, I wanted to explore a more balanced dressing to mix in. That way we can switch it up occasionally. The result was so delicious that we transformed it into a deli-style sandwich, complete with all the toppings, including creamy avocado.
Avocado with Tuna Sandwiches (No Mayo Version)
If you’re looking for a tuna sandwich without heavy mayo, this recipe is a great option. The tuna is coated in a light Honey Lemon Dijon dressing that brings both tang and sweetness. For hot summer days, it’s refreshing yet filling. While the dressing does include a tablespoon of mayo, it’s completely optional—the flavor still shines without it.
Extra Toppings for Tuna Sandwiches
The fun part is how versatile these sandwiches can be. Try:
- Pickled onions or sliced pickles
- Extra arugula or lettuce
- Fresh tomato slices
- Capers
- Cheese (provolone, feta, or cheddar)
