I could write a whole blog about sandwiches I make with Trader Joe's ingredients, from the Sloppy Jose to the naanwich.

Though I spooned on the supermarket's mixed olive bruschetta, a basic tapenade or olive salad will create the same effect.

It mixes canned tuna with chickpeas, green olives, and capers and uses a mustard and olive oil base rather than mayo. Shredded Parmesan cheese on top gets nice and crispy in the broiler.

In terms of deliciously simple sandwiches the best, in my opinion, after the grilled cheese is the tuna melt.
