Fitness Tuna Spread Sandwich
A mouthwatering bite that’s perfect for dinner too
Tuna spread is one of those recipes you can always turn to when you crave an exciting breakfast or light dinner. It’s also an excellent post-workout meal. With its high protein content, it’s a true fitness treat – especially if you skip the calorie-heavy mayonnaise. Make it with Greek yogurt and you’ll be amazed at how delicious it still is! The lemon gives it a fresh, summery flavor that somehow always reminds me of happiness. Give it a try!
Make it even more exciting!
You can also mix finely diced Palermo peppers into the tuna spread.
Variations
In the photo, I used a baguette, but it was also incredibly delicious with two thin slices of bread. I toasted them, placed a slice of Emmental cheese on one piece, spread the tuna cream on the other, added cucumber slices and a romaine lettuce leaf, then put them together like a sandwich.
