Their hand-cut and hand-packed tuna steaks are cooked directly in the can just once to retain their natural juices, Omega‑3 oils and a firm texture. Each can contains only tuna steak seasoned with a touch of sea salt and no added water or oil so there is nothing to drain. The natural juices enhance the flavor allowing you to experience the delicious, big flavor of this pristine, light tuna.

I used Bagel Thins and microgreens to complete this sandwich! I get my microgreens from a local farm that grows them right near where I live! If you are local to me here in Cleveland, Ohio….the farm is Lakeshore Microgreens…they deliver !!! If you haven’t tried microgreens, I highly suggest you give them a try! You can get them at local grocery store, local farmers, or even grow them yourself! Once you try microgreens, you will never go back!! This particular sandwich here is topped with broccoli microgreens! Absolutely delicious ! Here are some of the benefits of microgreens!

Click here to order San Antonio 16 Mesh Pepper !
I know what your thinking. First of all….what is ‘mesh’ pepper. I had to google it myself the first time I made a recipe that called for it. The US MESH size is a standard unit of measure. This unit of measure determines the number of holes that exist is a standard US Sieve. The larger the mesh number, the finer the pepper becomes. This 16 MESH pepper has been my favorite!! Salt and pepper is something you use every day, so it is worth getting the best! Try this!
