Okay. This is going to sound weird. But I promise it’s delicious 
Coming back from a long weekend away = no food in the house = time to get creative. This recipe was a win
Cheesy Avocado Tuna Sandwich
Ingredients:
- 1 small packet chunk light tuna (packed in water)
- 1 wedge laughing cow spreadable light swiss cheese
- 1/4 of a small, very ripe avocado
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 whole wheat pita, toasted
Instructions:
Dump all the ingredients (except the pita… that would be weird) in a bowl together and mix! The avocado should be ripe enough that it’s smush-able (that’s a technical term), and the spreadable cheese wedge will make everything nice and creamy.
Then, once mixed, spread on a toasted whole wheat pita. Top with some cracked pepper if desired.
Normally I would top this with spinach or mixed greens to bulk it up, but, you know, I have no food in the house.
I liked this sandwich so much that I had it for lunch Monday AND Tuesday! Easy, healthy, delicious, and packable for work/school.
Cause that’s how I roll.
All week I have been eating a similar version for lunch! Tuna with melted cheese and guac on wrap. So good!
This sounds soooo good – and I have everything to make it with :0)
This is SO my kind of sandwich. I can’t wait to try it!!!
I have def heard of the tuna avocado mix before, and have no doubts it will be good, but I just haven’t gotten around to actually trying it. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds great to me! The Laughing Cow wedges are great on anything. I’m going to try this
I hate hate hate hate tuna, but I bet this would also be good with canned salmon! I love your lunch ideas.
This looks awesome to me! I need to bring more tuna back into my lunches. One of my favorite flavor combos? Tuna salad made with celery, a dash of red wine vinegar, a dollop of spicy mustard over a bed of mixed greens or spinach with roasted almonds mixed in.
Ooo that sounds awesome! I love mustard with tuna but haven’t tried red wine vinegar… interesting idea!
Cooking–and reading food blogs!–has taught me that more often than not, the less sense it makes the better it tastes! I can’t wait to try this–avocado really seems like such a great throw-in ingredient!
since I don’t eat tuna, I’ll just go ahead and take your word on it!!!
doesn’t sound weird to me…that sounds awesome! although i think i might use salmon and not tuna…the broke college years kind of killed packaged tuna for me!
One of my fave ways to mix tuna! First is using mustard. Second is laughing cow!
Not weird at all. I do this all the time and wonder if anyone else did this. Yum! Also, mixing in green onions is really good.
You have great lunch ideas! And I have all but celery at home to try this tomorrow! I like tuna with a hard boiled egg white crushed in, and craisins. Really smart to use Laughing Cow instead of mayo to make it creamy!
I think it looks wonderful! What’s not to like?
That doesn’t sound weird to me, at all! I think your creation sounds heavenly!
I totally make this all the time – minus the avacado (which I <3). Must throw it in next time! Great idea!
I love weird combos that work! Especially anything with cheeese! It brings anything together
This looks great…I love avocado and tuna but never considered combining the two…duh! Must try this..
Another thing I love to add to tuna sandwiches is chopped up apple. The tart crisp apple goes so well with tuna and cheese. It’s a MUST TRY!
Ooooo great idea!! I love apple on sandwiches. Especially with sharp cheddar cheese
This kind of reminds me of the loaded tuna melt sandwiches I made growing up. Toasted bread, cheese, tuna…nothing bad about that
Throw in an avocado…even better!
I love that you added celery! What a nice crunch!
I can totally see how that would be good. tuna is also good with avocado and salsa.
That sounds great. I have made something similar with hummus and smoked salmon
Not weird at all! My favorite sandwich is avocado, laughing cow and roasted sweet potato slices..just made it yesterday
I’m not sure if I discovered it or read it somewhere else, but I really should share it with the world asap 
Not weird at all! I think that looks delish! In fact, I’ve mixed tuna with Laughing Cow on occasion, it’s SO good

I have made the same thing without the Laughing Cow – I’ll try it that way! Sounds yummy!
Hmmmm! Sounds yummy!
Yum Yum Yum! I’m adding this combo to my “to try” list! I don’t see how you can go wrong with avocado, laughing cow, and tuna–three of my favorite foods! I just never thought of combining all three.
I have very little food in the house right now, but I DO have tuna and an avocado, so I think I’ll give this a try! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you. I wanted to so something with tuna and was looking for a healthy alternative to Miracle Whip.
Great! I also like using nonfat plain yogurt in place of mayo in tuna/chicken/egg salad.

That sandwich looks SO good! I would totally eat that. Conrats on your half marathon! I am hoping to run my first one by the end of the year
Looks absolutely delicious to me!
Whoa what a combination!
I have heard people making tuna salad and using a mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise. I guess it is similar.
Is it weird that I don’t think it looks weird? Haha YUM!
This looks amazing. I found your blog via spark people! Thanks!
This is great idea…I eat tuna everyday for lunch…will be putting cow cheese and avacados on my shopping list
forgot to add….grapes are great in tuna salad also
Sounds good, putting it on my plans for lunch next week. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant! I often replace mayo with avocado (creamy with good fats instead of bad fats). I never thought of adding the LC cheese wedge though.
This sounds yummy. Can’t wait to try it!
I have a fennel bulb that I plan to chop and add to the salad. I bet that will be great. If it is not, I will let everyone know.
got all the ingridents, i will be making for lunch next week
I tried this last week and it was sooo good that I made it for lunch a couple times and just bought more fixin’s at the store to make more next week. Didn’t have any pitas but I put on toasted sandwich thins and served it open face, would be great on sourdough too! I like Kim’s idea of mixing in green onions and I happen to have some in my fridge so I will try that too! I feel so inspired to make new, healthy lunches! Forget the boring turkey sandwich! I am actually excited about lunch again! Thanks!!!!
Aw, thanks for the sweet comment! I’m so glad to hear I inspired!
Made this to take to school today… it was amazing!! And filling too. I used canned tuna though and it basically meant doubling the recipe… with leftovers for tomorrow, yay
I didn’t have celery so I subbed green onion, and also added chickpeas for some extra full-ness. Thanks for sharing. Loving your 5 minute lunches series!
