Ingredients

For the tuna:

  • 1 can albacore tuna drained
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise plus more if desired
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pepperoncini juice or lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons red onion finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon pepperoncinis chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the sandwich:

  • 1 to 2 slices bread toasted
  • pesto
  • 1/2 ripe avocado sliced
  • tomato slices
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • chili oil* optional

Instructions

For the tuna:

  • Using a blender or mini chopper, combine the tuna, mayo, dijon mustard and the pepperoncini juice (start with 1 tablespoon) and blend until smooth. When you've reached the consistency you want, remove from the mini food chopper and into a small bowl. Add the finely diced red onions and the pepperoncinis and season with salt and pepper. Mix, taste and adjust anything as needed.

For the sandwich:

  • On one side of toasted bread, add the pesto, then add the tuna mousse, tomato slices and the avocado. Season with salt and pepper and add chili oil* if desired. Top with another slice of toast or eat open faced. Enjoy!

Notes

*This is the chili oil I use.
