  • Now, assemble the sandwich. Spread a generous amount of ‘tuna’ mousse on a slice of bread. Add sliced avocado, tomato, and optional broccoli sprouts. Spread pesto on another slice of bread and place it on top.
  • Repeat the process for the remaining sandwiches. Enjoy your vegan ‘Tunacado’ sandwich immediately, or store in the refrigerator for later.
