Ingredients

1 can Premier Catch Wild Albacore Tuna, drained
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 stalk of celery, diced

1-2 tbsp pesto
½ tbsp Dijon mustard
2 slices sourdough bread

Directions

Drain the liquid from the tuna can. In a bowl, mix together tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, parsley or green onions, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper until well combined.
Arrange two slices of sourdough on a plate. Spread pesto over one side. Top with spinach, tuna salad, provolone cheese, and avocado. Add the second piece of bread.
Using a panini press or skillet, lightly heat some olive oil and cook the sandwich for 5 minutes, flipping once halfway through if using a skillet, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Serve and enjoy!
