Tuna and Herb Sandwich

7 minutes
A tuna and herb sandwich is an exquisite combination of freshness and rich flavor. This recipe has roots in Russian culinary traditions, where simple and hearty snacks are valued for their quick preparation and nutritional value. Tender canned tuna pairs perfectly with soft cream cheese, while watercress adds freshness and a hint of spiciness. Red onion contributes a crunchy texture and mild sharpness, while a pinch of sumac adds an Eastern flavor note. Ciabatta, toasted to a light crisp crust, serves as the ideal base for this sandwich, and lemon juice finishes the composition with a bright tanginess. This sandwich is perfect for a light breakfast or nutritious snack, filling the day with energy and pleasant taste.
