Ingredients

▢ 2 5-ounce cans tuna in olive oil (Note 1)
▢ ½ cup scallions white and green parts, sliced
▢ ⅓ cup red bell pepper diced
▢ 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (Note 2)
▢ 5 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise
▢ ½ tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
▢ Pinch of kosher salt
▢ Ground black pepper

Instructions

Drain about half the olive oil from each can of tuna. Place the tuna in a bowl and break it up with a fork (the finer the better, so it really absorbs the wet ingredients).
Place remaining ingredients in the bowl with the tuna and mix thoroughly. Taste for salt, and add more mayo, if desired. Scoop it onto your favorite bread. This makes 2-4 sandwiches, depending mainly on the size and type of bread. Enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: I recommend yellowfin tuna. I like the Genova brand.

Note 2: You can purchase toasted sesame seeds or toast them yourself in a small pan over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring often so they don't burn.
