Sushi Sammies
Back to School. What?! Why yes, it is.
What can I do with kids who are bored with the run of the mill lunches though? I can reinvent healthy food to keep it interesting and keep them coming back for more … and trust me they do!
One of our favorite easy lunches to pack or made as a light and quick dinner is to make Sushi Sammies. I’ve pimped up the old stand by of tuna salad and have given it a new life as Sushi Sammies.
When making tasty tuna salad, I use Bumble Bee Premium Light Tuna in Water Pouches or the Bumble Bee Premium Albacore Tuna – both are excellent in flavor. The pouches come in 2 1/2 oz. or 5 oz. with minimal mess (basically NO mess = joy), you can also buy the 5 oz cans if you prefer for any of the recipes.
I am way happy with how these little Sushi Sammies turned out. This recipe is a basic Tuna Salad sandwich, but it’s all about presentation.
