Avocado Tuna Salad
The third lunch I made in the triumvirate of lunches is a tuna salad with avocado. It’s nothing special but the avocado gives it a gourmet flavor.
I used a tin of albacore tun, the fancy stuff, two dollops of mayonaise, half an avocado, a quarter of a red onion diced, some lemon, some pepper and salt, and a minced clove of garlic. That’s it. Throw them all into a bowl and mix together, dollop out onto toasted bread, and add some shredded lettuce.
Yumm-o!
The sandwich was good and the tuna salad was still better the next day for breakfast. What went wrong was using too much mayo and perhaps more salt than I should be using. All things that will be fixed the next time I make some tuna salad. I’m also thinking adding some herbs and spices a la Akeshia’s suggestion.
So what have I learned when I made myself lunch this past week? Baked bacon is a gift from the gods. Sandwiches are easy to make. Just take a look at a B.L.T. whose ingredients are in its name. Mango salads are best made with slightly less ripe mangoes. Red onions are as pungent as any other onion. Iceberg lettuce is flavorful too.

Yumm-o, indeed! now I'm hungry again…and inspired.
if I may throw this out for the mental rolodex — black olives on tuna. it can be interesting.
Instead of a casual fried egg sandwich this morning, I used the sandwich grill and added pepper jack. nothing fancy really but my day feels better already.
I think anything that can give the tuna salad a kick would be great in it. I had put some pepperoncini into a tuna salad once and it was delicious.
Maybe I should try your fried egg sandwich. I've got some eggs to get rid of.
I've been trying vegetarian sandwiches. My personal fave is toasted focaccia with pesto spread, lettuce and some cheese. Simple but love it. I've had some people like this as well. Then theres the sandwich w/ alfalfa, lettuce & some Japanese mayo. Japanese mayo has a different taste that makes u feel not too guilty about your mayo servings.
I haven't made meat sandwiches yet recently. I'll try some and let u know how that goes. Thinking of cajun mayo or wasabi mayo or some sort.
