Tips:
- Choose the right tuna. Opt for high-quality, sustainably-sourced tuna steaks or fillets. Fresh tuna is preferable, but canned tuna can also be used, just be sure to drain and flake it thoroughly.
- Cook the tuna to perfection. Searing the tuna briefly over high heat creates a delicious crust while keeping the inside moist and tender. Alternatively, you can grill or bake the tuna until just cooked through.
- Make a flavorful mayo. The lemon-habanero mayo adds a zesty kick to the sandwich. You can adjust the amount of habanero to suit your taste preferences.
- Use fresh vegetables. Crisp romaine lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy cucumbers add texture and freshness to the sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwich carefully. Place the tuna salad on top of the lettuce, then add the tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion. Drizzle with the lemon-habanero mayo and top with the other slice of bread.
