Description

This copycat recipe recreates the popular Joe & the Juice Tuna Sandwich at home! Made with creamy tuna, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh avocado, and a crispy thin flatbread, this sandwich is full of bold flavors and satisfying textures. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion (optional)

  • 2 thin flatbreads or sandwich thins (rye crispbread or whole grain works best)

  • 1/4 avocado, sliced

  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 tsp olive oil (for brushing bread, optional)


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the drained tuna with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (if using), chopped red onion, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. Warm your flatbread in a toaster or pan for 1–2 minutes until slightly crisp.

  3. Spread the tuna mixture evenly on one side of the flatbread.

  4. Add sliced avocado and chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top of the tuna mixture.

  5. Top with the second piece of flatbread. Press down gently.

  6. Optional: Lightly brush the outside of the sandwich with olive oil and toast in a pan or sandwich press for extra crispness.

  7. Slice in half and serve immediately.


Notes

  • For a low-fat version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.

  • Rye crispbread is closest to the original sandwich texture.

  • Add arugula or spinach for extra greens.

  • Serve with a side of fruit or a green smoothie for the full Joe & the Juice vibe.
