I love shopping at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods! It excites me to explore their aisles and check out what’s new. For example, on one of my exploration trips to Whole Foods, I came across their Broccoli Slaw packet in the veggie section and immediately put it in my cart! Rather than just incorporating it into a salad, I went ahead and added it to this Tuna salad for a healthy and delicious sandwich.
Part of why I love what I do is because it gives me the liberty to experiment and explore different options with food. And I enjoy sharing it on this platform here with you folks! This sandwich, in particular, is super quick and easy and a healthy option too. If you prefer a cold version of this salad sandwich, simply make the tuna broccoli mix ahead of time and refrigerate till ready to use.
