No Mayo Avocado Tuna Melt is the perfect lunch to get out of the midweek slump! Filled with solid white albacore tuna and veggies, it’s delicious and easy!

No Mayo Avocado Tuna Melt is the perfect lunch to get out of the midweek slump! Filled with solid white albacore tuna and veggies, it's delicious and easy!Now that the weather is getting nicer, I often enjoy cooking up a tuna melt, but I dislike the feeling of the heavy mayo-full tuna. This is why I have been opting for these delicious No Mayo Avocado Tuna Melts lately! Full of fresh vegetables, melted cheese, Solid White Albacore Tuna, they make the perfect lunch or dinner! 

No Mayo Avocado Tuna Melt is the perfect lunch to get out of the midweek slump! Filled with solid white albacore tuna and veggies, it's delicious and easy!I really like using Solid White Albacore in these No Mayo Avocado Tuna Melts because there is just a big difference in the consistency of albacore tuna compared to chunk light tuna. It has a firm texture, but comes together effortlessly using avocado as a binder. It has a nice light color and super fresh taste; paired with avocado and fresh veggies, Avocado Tuna Melts are really the perfectly balanced meal with lean protein, healthy fats, and important vitamins and minerals.

How to make Avocado Tuna Melts:

  • Get all of the ingredients together, and whip up the solid white albacore and avocado mixture.
    • It’s simple: add strained tuna and 1/2 an avocado to a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Then just mix it until it’s all combined.

  • Butter the outsides of the bread and pop it into a skillet. After just a few minutes you have the perfect Avocado Tuna Melt!

    This has everything I love:
    Tomato? Check!
    Albacore tuna? Check!
    Cheese? Check!
    Bread (Dave’s Killer Bread)? Check!
    Avocado? Double check!

    The photo had me drooling and I thought I would love this, but it was nothing special and the whole was not greater than the sum of its part. Sorry.

    Interesting that you don’t post negative reviews. Most of your 5-Star reviews haven’t even tasted the sandwich, they are just talking about the photo which *is* mouthwatering. The sandwich itself? Not so much.

    I don’t like dishonest people. I won’t be back to your blog.

      Yikes! My 6 year old son has been in an out of the hospital, and I have been behind on responding and posting comments as his health takes top priority for me. You’re welcome for the free recipe, although I am sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it as much as we and everyone else did.
