Very Veggie Tuna Sandwich
Lunch time has the potential to be really fattening if you resort to convenience foods with little to no nutrition. These simple tuna sandwiches are tasty and provide 3 servings of vegetables.
Served on 100% whole wheat bread, this sandwich can give you the energy that you need to make it through the rest of the afternoon.
Ingredients
One Can of Tuna Fish (in Water)
2 T of Ranch Dressing
1/4 cup of low fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup of chopped carrots
1/4 cup of chopped broccoli
1/2 an avocado
100% whole wheat bread
Preparation
Open a can of tuna fish and drain the water. In a small bowl, mix the tuna fish, ranch dressing, and mayonnaise. Using a food chopper or food processer, finely chop the carrots and broccoli. Add the vegetables to the tuna mixture and stir well.
Peel and thinly slice a ripe avocado. Layer the slices of avocado on a piece of 100% whole wheat bread. Top the avocado with the tuna mixture and a second slice of whole wheat bread.
For a well rounded lunch, serve with a side of fruit, yogurt, or a cheese stick.
