Tuna salad sandwich with cottage cheese and chilli mayo – easy, filling and full of flavour.
This sandwich with tuna salad, cottage cheese and chilli mayo is everything a good sandwich should be – creamy, spicy, crisp and properly filling.
Filled with my tuna salad with cottage cheese, topped with chilli mayo and something crisp like lettuce or microgreens, it is a sandwich that really satisfies both your taste buds and your appetite.
It is quick and easy to make, perfect for lunch, a light dinner or a meal on the go. And it is packed with protein, so it keeps you full for a long time.
Use a good wholemeal sandwich roll – or better still, try my recipe for homemade wholemeal panini rolls, which go perfectly with tuna salad and mayo click here for the panini rolls.
Tips for the tuna sandwich with cottage cheese
- Wrap it in greaseproof paper and take it along as a packed lunch – it keeps well.
- Use crisp lettuce or microgreens for a little crunch and freshness.
- Adjust the heat of the chilli mayo to taste – a little extra kick works wonders!

Hvordan regner du kcal ud på dine opskrifter?
Er det alt der står på listen?
Jeg tænker på denne opskrift 189 kcal. Det er vel uden brødet så, altså kun tunsalaten
Hej Michelle
Det er en feature der slet ikke er rullet ud endnu, men som blot er ved at blive testet – så det er en fejl det ligger der.
Det behager jeg 🙂
