Easy Tuna and Salmon Open-Faced Sandwiches

Two simple and healthy sandwich recipes great for summer lunches and picnics! These take only 10 minutes to make and are so delicious!

If you’re looking for a quick meal without using your oven and stove, I got you!! These are effortless and are delicious on top of toasted bread or a cold salad. You can even make a tuna or salmon melt, it’s up to you!

I’m someone who like to spend under 30 minutes preparing meals because I just want to eat! Once in a while, I’ll spend more time but more often than not, I want the easy option! This recipe makes 4 servings, but you can double it to make 8 if you have a big family or want to have leftovers.

To make it more fun to eat, I placed it on a snack board along with cherries, grapes and chocolate! During the summer, cherries are extra sweet so I’ve been buying them every time I go to the grocery store. This was such a refreshing lunch. I’ll definitely be having it again sometime soon!

The salmon salad was mixed with mayonnaise, giving a hint of creaminess, dried cranberries for a hint of sweetness and walnuts for a nutty crunch. The tuna salad has mashed avocado for healthy fats, diced red onions and a kick of spice from red pepper flakes. I loved both of them!Both recipes take literally 10 minutes to throw together. Just prep all your ingredients, throw and mix into a bowl!

I’m already thinking of when my next summer picnic will be because I’ll be making this into a sandwich to eat at the beach or park! I feel like outdoor picnics have been the new thing to do recently. The other night, I went to the park near my apartment for a dinner picnic and there were so many people walking their dogs and eating dinner, socially distancing of course! The sun sets around 7:30pm so that’s been nice! I’ll be taking advantage of that before the sun starts setting at 4pm as fall approaches.
