Used to be that tuna salad was
considered the “healthy choice.” But now who knows? Is the tuna
wild? Is the mayo used to make the salad healthy? What about the bread for
the sandwich? Is it gluten free? We can drive ourselves bonkers trying to
keep up with all the information. And, this may be part of the reason
why tuna salad has lost popularity lately. So, if you ever just get a
taste for a tuna salad sandwich, why not just try it from a different angle?
This recipe combines a dairy-egg free variation of tuna salad with Life
Changing Bread, to bring you a clean(er) nutritional powerhouse of
a tuna sandwich, with fiber, complete proteins from the fish and also
plants, healthy fats, and other vitamins and minerals.
So, forget about “whether a tuna sandwich is okay”
and dig in!
