Yield
Serves 2

Ingredients

3 pieces of whole wheat sandwich bread

1 can of tuna (i use albacore in water)

1 teaspoon capers, chopped

1 tablespoon mayonnaise (plus more for spreading on the bread)

1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard

1 cucumber, cut into long, thin sticks

1 carrot, grated

Preparation

Step 1
Cut the crusts off of each slice of bread and roll out as thin as possible with a rolling pin.
Step 2
Place the tuna, capers, mayonnaise and dijon mustard in a bowl and stir to combine.
Step 3
Place the long side of the rolled out bread closest to you.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each slice of rolled out bread.
Step 5
Thinly spread 1/3 of the tuna mixture onto half of the bread lengthwise.
Step 6
On top of the tuna mixture, arrange some of the cucumber sticks and grated carrot making sure not too over stuff the roll (a little goes a long way).
Step 7
Starting at the side closest to you (the filled end) tightly roll the tuna/cucumber/carrot mixture up and press to seal into a roll (I dab a bit of mayonnaise across the end of the roll to act as a glue sealing the roll).
Step 8
Cut the roll into 4 even pieces and repeat with remaining bread and tuna mixture.
