Ina Garten Tuna And Hummus Sandwich

Ina Garten Tuna And Hummus Sandwich recipe

This sandwich blends protein-rich tuna with creamy hummus as a substitute for mayo, offering a lighter, Mediterranean-inspired spin on traditional tuna sandwiches. Paired with crunchy vegetables and whole grain or sourdough bread, it’s wholesome, fresh, and perfect for meal prep or on-the-go meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5 to 7-ounce) can solid white tuna, packed in olive oil or water, drained

  • 3 tablespoons classic or garlic hummus

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 slices hearty whole grain bread, sourdough, or country loaf

  • ½ small cucumber, thinly sliced

  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced

  • A handful of baby spinach or arugula

  • Optional: sliced tomato, olives, or fresh herbs (parsley or dill)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the tuna mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, hummus, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly blended and creamy.

Step 2: Toast the bread (optional)

If you like extra crunch, lightly toast the bread slices. This helps hold the sandwich together and adds texture.

Step 3: Assemble the sandwich

Spread the tuna-hummus mixture evenly over one slice of bread. Layer with sliced cucumber, red onion, and a handful of greens. Add optional toppings if desired.

Step 4: Top and serve  

Place the second slice of bread on top, press gently, and cut in half. Serve immediately or wrap for later.
