Notes
*We use the Silver Hills Sprouted Grain Bread (Little Big Bread; 110 calories for 2 slices of bread with 5 gram of fibre!)
**Option to make it VEGAN! Substitute the tuna with one 398ml can of chickpeas (drained or rinsed). Simply smash the chickpeas as you would the tuna and use vegan mayo or hummus). Top with dairy-free cheese or dairy-free queso dip.
I won’t judge if you add a little ketchup on top 😉
