Steps

15 mins

1

Prep your bread slices and set aside. You can toast them right before serving if desired.

Into a large bowl, add the tuna, soft cheese, capers, chopped shallot, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, chili garlic sauce, and fresh chives. Use a fork to break up the tuna and mix everything together well.
2

Taste and add more salt, pepper, or more of the tangy liquid from the capers.
When ready to serve, toast your bread if desired and load up with tuna spread. I like dividing the spread between only two sandwiches, or more if you adding additional ingredients to each sandwich.
3

Add sliced cucumber,tomato and lettuce to the sandwich and any other toppings you like and top with the other slice. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
Serve warm or cold !

Tips

📝NOTES:
If you don’t have capers, you can use lemon juice to instead.
If you don’t like to have a dry slice of bread in your sandwich, add some of the spread on each slice and the cucumber slices in the middle.
Store any leftover spread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
