Renee's note

“Mash the tuna until it’s evenly coated with hummus so every bite stays creamy without getting heavy. Keep refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below. For transport, use an insulated bag with at least two cold sources, and discard food left at room temperature for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).”

Renee's tweak

Drain the tuna thoroughly and pat the pickles dry before assembly so the bread stays firm around the creamy filling.
