Plant-based tuna sandwich is the yummiest

It tastes nothing like tuna but hey, that is how everyone calls it on the internet so let’s stick to it to avoid confusion. Though it does look a bit like the tuna mix take-away sandwiches you will find in bakeries or grocery shops, doesn’t it? The big difference is there is no fish in this plant-based tuna sandwich, it is more nutritious and in my opinion definitively yummier!

There a quite a few ingredients, but promise, nothing fancy. If you are already eating plant-based even occasionally you probably have it all in your pantry, if not your grocery store definitively does. The mix is ready in 15 – 20 minutes and then you can be creative and add to your sandwich whatever you like 😉

Serves: 4 big sandwiches (400g of “tuna” mix). Total time 15 – 20 minutes.

2 tsp of small Capers
