Tips

  • This recipe is a good source of fibre. Eating a diet high in fibre can help reduce your risk of bowel cancer. 
  • Using tuna in springwater instead of brine can help lower your sodium intake. 
  • Choose, wholemeal, wholegrain or high-fibre white bread for a fibre boost.  

  • You can save money by using home brand tuna, bread and mayonnaise. 

Method

Step 1
Mix the tuna and mayonnaise.

Step 2
Cut the crusts from the bread and gently roll with a rolling pin to flatten.

Step 3
Leaving a 1cm gap at the edge, top each slice evenly with a lettuce leaf, grated carrot and then the tuna.

Step 4
Roll up firmly and slice into three ‘sushi’ rounds.

Serving suggestion: Add avocado for a creamy alternative and thin cucumber strips for crunch.

Food safety tip: If you are taking leftovers for lunch, tuna needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
