Tuna Tomato Sandwich | Possibly the BEST Tuna Sandwich EVER

This Tuna Tomato Sandwich is possibly the best tuna sandwich ever. We’re talking a ton of great flavors, easy to make and all done in about 20 minutes. Serve it next to a handful of chips and a couple cold beers for the best moment of your day.

To make this recipe, I used Spanish canned tuna in olive oil. You can use other types of tuna if you like. However, the higher the quality of the tuna, the better the overall flavor of this sandwich. I also used the olive oil from the tuna to make the tuna-tomato mixture. If you use tuna in water, just use regular olive oil.

For the bread, I used multigrain sandwich bread. You can use whatever type of bread you want here. The most important thing is to make sure you lightly toast it. This way, once you add the tuna tomato mixture, the bread won’t mush and break apart.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve this sandwich warm, at room temperature or even chilled. The tuna tomato mixture will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
