Ingredients
- 1 celery, diced into very small chunks
- ½ spring onion, finely chopped
- ½ jalapeno, deseeded and finely chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped
- 1 can tuna, Albacore, white tuna in water (170 grams), well drained
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt, zero fat
- 1 tsp curry powder
- ¼ tsp salt, sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper, coarse
- 2 slice bread, Wholegrain or choose your favourite
- ½ cup lettuce, or your favourite greens
Instructions
- Transfer the drained tuna to a medium-sized bowl and thoroughly mash it into tiny flakes using a fork.
- Stir together diced celery, spring onion, jalapeno and cilantro with the tuna.
- Add Greek yogurt, curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Spread half the tuna mixture on one slice of bread, adding plenty of lettuce or other leafy greens on top. Finish with a second slice and press to create your sandwich. Repeat the process with a second sandwich.
Notes
- If you're looking for ways to add more flavour and zest to your canned tuna dishes, try adding an array of spices, herbs and seasonings. For example, oregano, basil, paprika and cayenne pepper are all great options.
- I can't get enough texture, so I love adding crunchy veggies like celery and jalapeno. Not to mention nuts and seeds.
- Why not treat yourself to a delightful combination of sweetness and savoriness to bring out the taste of tuna with capers, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, diced apples, cranberry sauce, Dijon mustard, horseradish, cumin, garlic powder and smoked paprika
