I’ve always liked tuna, but I never enjoyed the mess of a chunky tuna salad. With this spread, everything is blended smoothly, making it perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or even as a dip with crackers. It’s also incredibly versatile—I can adjust the spice level depending on my mood, and it pairs beautifully with pickles and fresh veggies for added crunch.

Wrap the sandwich in parchment paper or foil to keep it together. It’s important to keep it chilled with an ice pack, especially for longer days.
