Ingredients
- 1 (5 ounce) can yellowfin tuna, drained (I like to use tuna that’s packed in olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons finely diced green onion
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapeno
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 tablespoon yogurt (or sub mayo)
- 1 teaspoon grainy dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 slices your favorite bread, a thicker sliced bread is always nice
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese (or your fav cheese!)
- Extra jalapeno slices, if desired
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together drained tuna, diced green onion, diced jalapeno, mayo, yogurt, dijon, hot sauce and salt and pepper.

This recipe serves one, but it's also great for two people if you want to pair it with a bowl of soup or a salad for lunch and dinner.
