Go Fish! (Sandwich)

I once had someone very dear to me tell me that sandwiches were the perfect food.  I might have to agree.  They are filling, tasty and the combinations are unlimited.  There are an almost infinite amount of combinations of fillings you can put between two slices of your favorite bread.  I mean seriously, two of America's greatest contributions to popular culture are known for their love of sandwiches.  Elvis loved his peanut butter, banana and bacon (hard to disagree with that) and more importantly in my life, so did Boss Hogg.  Man, oh, man do I love The Dukes of  Hazzard.  Anyway, this sandwich is packed with all of the health benefits of avocado, tuna and peppers.  It is a terrific topper for salad, alone or in a sandwich.  You definitely wont miss the mayo with this healthy, tasty replacement.
