Tuna Avocado Sandwich

A recipe for a sandwich? Yup!
This Tuna Avocado sandwich is a family favorite and it's full of good nutrition and flavor!

This recipe isn't scientific it's just based on the maker's preferences, so you can play with the quantities and add garlic & spices, whatever you like.

Here is what I do:

Ingredients:

1 6oz can of white albacore tuna
3TBSP Hellmann's mayonnaise*
1/8 of an avocado
1/2 cup baby spinach leaves*
a few slices of tomato
2 slices toasted 100% whole wheat bread *

In a resealable dish, smoosh up the avocado with a fork until it is a creamy consistency.  Add the mayonnaise and mix well.  Toss in the tuna and mix it up until it is well coated with mayo & avocado.  Layer the tuna/avocado mix on the bread with your spinach & tomato.  Voila!

*I use Hellmann's mayonnaise as opposed to Vegenaise because we are not vegan and even though both products have the same serving size (1Tbsp), the Vegenaise has 30 more calories (but 2% less saturated fat).  I really just like the flavor of the Hellmann's better & we don't use it often.

*I use spinach because it's slightly healthier than Romaine and much healthier than iceberg.  This site is great for looking at the complete nutrition score of any food http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2626/2

*Whole wheat bread.  I simply detest white bread (it's sticky and gross.)
