Ingredients
Sandwich Filling
- 1 (6 oz) can tuna, packed in water and drained
- 1 tablespoon minced green onion
- 1/4 cup finely diced carrot
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1 medium ripe avocado, roughly diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
To Serve
- Slices of bread (whole grain or sourdough preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare the tuna mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, minced green onion, finely diced carrot, garlic powder, and salt. Use a fork or spoon to mix these ingredients evenly.
- Add avocado and lemon juice: Gently fold in the roughly diced avocado and lemon juice. You can mash the avocado slightly for a creamier texture or leave it chunky depending on your preference. Mix just until combined to maintain the freshness.
- Assemble the sandwich: Scoop the tuna avocado mixture onto your favorite slices of bread, such as whole grain or sourdough. Optionally, you can serve the mixture on tortillas, lettuce wraps, salad, or alongside crackers for variety.
Notes
- Use tuna packed in water instead of broth or oil to reduce fat and sodium content.
- Dice carrots very finely when serving to toddlers or young children for easier chewing and to avoid choking hazards.
- Choose a ripe avocado that is slightly soft but not mushy to achieve the best creamy texture.
