instructions
    1

    Begin by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa well under cold water. In a pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.

    2

    While the quinoa is cooking, open and drain the can of tuna and the can of artichokes. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna and artichokes.

    3

    Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the tuna and artichoke mixture. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix everything gently until well combined.

    4

    Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and allow it to cool slightly. Then fold the quinoa into the tuna and artichoke mixture, adding chopped parsley for flavor.

    5

    To assemble the sandwiches, take 2 slices of whole grain bread, and evenly distribute the mixture on top. Place the remaining slices of bread on top to create your sandwiches.

    6

    Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and slice the sandwiches in half before serving.
