Recipe/ A Tuna Sandwich... Done Right
Dietary Consideration/ Dairy Free, Low Fat, High Protein (and tasty!)
I know what you are thinking... "A TUNA SANDWICH?" and while yes I am pretty sure most of you make a killer tuna sandwich, or know someone who does... regardless, this post had to be done. Yesterday we spent the entire day out biking on an empty stomach... needless to say... I WAS HUNGRY! In our desperate stouper we grabbed a tuna sandwich from the closest sandwich shop we could find. I will spare you the gory details, but to sum it up... it was 4pm, it was the first thing I put in my stomach all day... and I only ate half... and that was a stretch. eeek. We spent the rest of the day making up for the disaster that was that sandwich. Earlier in the week I was at the indoor market at the Namal in Tel Aviv where I found a small stand that made all of their own olive oil, spreads, tapenades and cured olives. Long story short I stocked up and now have a mouthful of sandwich that most definitely erases yesterday's fishy memory. See recipe below!
