Lunch Date with Tuna Salad Sandwich... Mmm, Mmm!

Today's lunch was most satisfying. I am soooo full and it's 3:00 PM. I ate a delicious homemade, clean eating tuna fish salad sandwich on whole grain bread (from Costco... surprisingly... no HFCS). How did I spruce up this rather boring canned meal!?!

Here's the recipe:

1-7oz can of albacore solid white or chunk light tuna (any brand) drained and rinsed with water... most are canned in vege...table or chicken broth which will add sodium to the mix... lots of it.
1/4 small red onion diced
1 to 2 medium celery stalk(s) diced*
salt, pepper to taste
1 tsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1 to 2 tsp of LIGHT mayo (not exactly clean, but you can omit)*
1/2 to 1 tsp balsamic vinegar*

sliced tomatoes to fit your bread
sliced avocado to fit your bread
handful of spinach

MIX THE TUNA well with the other ingredients, except for the sliced toms, avo, and spinach. Once well mixed, arrange the tomatoes on one slice of bread and the avocado on the other slice. Place half the tuna salad on one slice and the spinach on the other. Put together and you're done!

*Everyone has a different palate. Some like drier tuna, so like more moist tuna. So, dress according to your taste buds. But, less is more with the mayo!
