A quick and flavorful Tuna Cucumber Sandwich combining creamy goat cheese, briny capers, and fresh chives for a refreshing and satisfying meal ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Tuna Spread

  • 1 can of tuna in water, drained
  • 100g soft goat cheese (or cream cheese)
  • 2 tbsp capers + 1 tbsp of the liquid (chopped if large)
  • 1 shallot or ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp chili garlic sauce (or substitute crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce)
  • 1–2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives

Sandwich Components

  • 4–8 slices of bread (4 for two large sandwiches, 8 if adding more to the sandwich)
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare bread: Lay out your bread slices and set them aside. Toast the bread just before serving if you prefer a warm, crisp sandwich.
  2. Make tuna spread: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, goat cheese, capers along with 1 tbsp of caper liquid, finely chopped shallot, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, chili garlic sauce, and fresh chives. Use a fork to break up the tuna and thoroughly mix all ingredients until well blended.
  3. Adjust seasoning: Taste the spread and add additional salt, pepper, or more caper liquid as needed to balance the flavors to your liking.
  4. Assemble sandwiches: When ready to serve, toast the bread if desired. Spread the tuna mixture onto the bread slices, dividing it evenly between two sandwiches or more if you prefer smaller portions with extra toppings.
  5. Add cucumber and serve: Layer thinly sliced cucumber on top of the tuna spread, add any additional toppings you like, then cover with the other bread slice. Repeat this for remaining sandwiches and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Toast bread just before serving for best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute cream cheese for goat cheese if preferred.
  • Add extra chili garlic sauce or crushed red pepper flakes for more heat.
  • Feel free to add lettuce, tomato slices, or avocado for extra freshness.
  • This sandwich is best eaten fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
