Ingredients

For the Tuna or Chicken Mousse

  • 6 oz canned tuna, drained (or canned chicken, drained)
  • 3 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt + pepper (to taste)

For the Sandwich

  • 2 slices of bread (we used sourdough)
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 - 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

Make the mousse.

  • Add the tuna (or chicken), mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Use a fork to mash and combine until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Toast your bread.
  • Don’t skip this part! Thoroughly toasting the bread gives the sandwich that signature crunch.

Assemble the Sandwich

  • Spread the mousse mixture on one slice of bread. On the other slice, spread the pesto. Layer on tomato slices and avocado, then close the sandwich.
  • Slice it in half and dig in. It’s fresh, filling, and just as good (maybe better!) than the one we had at Joe & The Juice.
