    tuna avocado toast on a white plate

    I know you're getting tired of your usual tuna salad sandwiches right? You have to try this easy change up with tuna avocado toast! The easiest, quickest tuna sandwich makeover you need for your lunch lineup.

    I actually grew up eating tuna, like canned tuna. But it wasn't the cold tuna sandwiches that I'm sure you're most familiar with. Nope, my childhood tuna memories was from my mom a tuna shaak or curry with onions, tomatoes and lots of masala (spices). I loved it. And of course I had to pretend I was still eating cold tuna salad sandwiches like my friends and so I would take her masala tuna and make myself a nice sandwich with mayo lol! So I know you're thinking eww! that's gross, but honestly its not.

    Tuna, even canned tuna, especially in a good olive oil is really good with fresh herbs and veggies! Just paired with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and some herbs and its really amazing! You can add mayo if you want to, but I love switching the mayo out for avocado. Same creaminess but so much better for you.

    Adding this amazing tuna to your avocado toast is a total game changer!

    Since this is a lunch, I like to go heavy on the veggies but pretty light on the spices. It's definitely not as masala heavy as the versions my mom would make.
