A tuna sandwich can be a simple yet protein-packed meal. Here, I’ve fancied it up a bit with a caper and tarragon mayonnaise. The capers give a nice acidic, almost lemony, taste. An ever-so-small amount of cayenne pepper just gives a hint of a kick. And the ripe tomatoes…they really make the sandwich. Sweet and juicy.

Caution: Tuna can be high in mercury.
