    Tonnino Tuna Salad

    June 14, 2019 by athomewithrebecka 2 Comments

    Tonnino Tuna Sandwich

    Tonnino Tuna is looking for inspirational ideas to create “Simply Better Tuna Recipes” that occur when creativity is fused with unexpected flavors and ingredients that are made with the best tuna served either hot or chilled that makes everyday dishes into gourmet dishes.

    Deconstructed

    My deconstructed version of the classic Tuna Salad really hits the mark by creating "simply better tuna recipes."

    By dismantling the traditional ingredients, I've created this stunning sandwich. It's much more interesting than just a tuna sandwich with only a blob of tuna salad on a plate - it's a dish that opens a whole new world of opportunities for creative, tuna salad-based dishes.

    Unexpected Flavor

    The unexpected flavors of Sweet Opal apples and the creamy texture of avocado induce a combination that translate this everyday dish into a gourmet dish that everyone will want to eat.

    I hope you'll try this recipe at home - it's as fun to make as it is to eat.

    This recipe is my second submission for the Inaugural Tonnino Tuna Blogger Recipe Challenge.
