Notes

Toast the bread for extra crunch. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Customize with whatever you have at home—be creative! The tuna mixture can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep ingredients separate for the best texture when assembling sandwiches later.
