Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 oz chunk light tuna canned in water, drained
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp dried minced onion or onion powder
a dollop of mayo or greek yogurt ((start with just a little and only add more if you need it!))
1 tsp plain yellow mustard ((extra if desired))
salt and pepper to taste
shredded carrots
shredded radish
finely chopped or shredded celery
finely chopped white or red onion
chopped kosher dill pickles
add a little... or a lot!

Steps:

  • Drain your tuna.
  • Chop your veggies.
  • Combine with remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • To make into a super flavorful sandwich that rivals your local deli, combine all ingredients, spread onto fluffy rye bread with a little mustard, top with arugula or romaine lettuce and dig in! Tuna and rye are a match made in heaven so hunt down some whole grain rye instead of the typical white bread. If you have 'em, onion and tomato are also di-vine piled on top of this sandwich. Use what you have and, as always, have fun with it! A colorful lunch is a satisfying lunch.
