When you’re brown-bagging lunch, there’s nothing as classic or easy to put together as a sandwich. While we love our mason jar Big Ass Salads and veggie-and-protein bowls over cauliflower rice, sometimes you just want to bite into a thick, overflowing, two-napkin sandwich. Made with ingredients like Safe Catch Foods tuna, Primal Kitchen Garlic Aioli Mayo, and Legit Bread Company sandwich bread, even the kids will love this Primal/paleo version of a classic tuna salad sandwich—bet they won’t even notice the difference.

It’s also easy to switch up this recipe to keep things interesting. Try it with our regular Mayo with Avocado Oil or our Chipotle Lime flavor. Conscious of the possible smell of tuna? Swap in leftover cooked, cubed chicken. Vegetarian? Use soaked, sprouted and mashed chickpeas. Don’t like celery but want crunch? Use minced green apple or chopped jicama instead. Add more interest by topping with microgreens, alfalfa sprouts, pea shoots, or baby kale.
