Ingredients You'll Need

Gather these simple ingredients for your creamy tuna salad sandwich:

1 can of Tuna (in water) – drained
1 tbsp of Mayonnaise
1 tsp of Yellow Mustard
1 tbsp of Avocado Oil
1 small Onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp of Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp of Salad Dressing
1 tsp of Black Pepper
½ Tomato, thinly sliced
½ Cucumber, sliced
Fresh Lettuce Leaves
2 pieces of Garlic Naan
1 tsp of Butter
1 tbsp of Lime Juice (for serving)

Step 1: Prepare the Tuna Salad

In a medium bowl, mix together the drained tuna, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, avocado oil, black pepper, finely chopped onion, parmesan cheese, salad dressing, tomato, cucumber, and lettuce.

Pro Tip: Make sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly for a creamy mixture. The combination of flavors will enhance each bite, giving you a delicious tuna salad just bursting with freshness!

Note: Set aside the lime juice, butter, and naan for later.

Step 2: Butter the Naan

Next, let’s add some richness to our garlic naan. Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of each piece.

This step is important for achieving that golden-crisp texture and a rich taste when air-fried. Did you know that using butter increases the crispiness by approximately 30%? Don't skip it!

Step 3: Build the Sandwich

To assemble your sandwich, lay one piece of naan flat on a clean surface. Generously spoon your creamy tuna salad mixture onto the naan and spread it evenly.

Then, take the second piece of naan to cover the tuna salad, sealing in all that delicious flavor.

Step 4: Air Fry for the Perfect Crunch

Now for the exciting part! Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C).

Place the assembled sandwich on an air fryer liner and cook for 3–5 minutes. You are aiming for a light toast and golden appearance. The air fryer creates that perfect crunch outside while keeping the inside creamy and flavorful, making this meal more enjoyable.

Step 5: Serve & Savor

Once your sandwich is ready, be sure to slice it in half for easy handling. Serve it with a wedge of lime on the side.

Before taking a bite, squeeze the lime over your sandwich. This adds a zesty punch that beautifully complements the creaminess of the tuna salad.

Pair this delightful meal with a glass of refreshing strawberry banana juice without added sugar for a tasty finish. In fact, research shows that drinking juice made from real fruit can increase your satisfaction and enjoyment during meals!
