Best Tuna Avocado Sandwich Recipe

During the work week, most of my lunches consist of opening a can of tuna, adding in whatever random ingredients we have in the Test Kitchen, and calling it a day. It always hits the spot and, even better, gives me a boost of protein for the day (which I need on days when I’m surrounded by nothing but cake). This sandwich is my ideal high-protein version of tuna salad and is similar to what I might make on a daily basis, if what I made actually looked like a recipe. This tuna salad sandwich makes just a few swaps for a protein-rich and super-fast lunch.

There isn’t as much mayo in this tuna salad; instead, I’m focusing on cottage cheese. Chickpeas also add a little extra protein and texture, while the avocado provides an extra layer of creamy richness to the sandwich that I think makes it infinitely better. Romaine and celery are the crunch heroes, giving you the perfect bite against the creamy tuna salad.

Tip: Don’t be afraid to add more or less of anything that goes into the salad. I love a punchy mustard in mine and usually add a bit more. Adjust the seasonings as you see fit for your ideal tuna salad.
