Drain and discard excess oil from tuna.
In a large bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, celery, red onion, capers, and dill. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Equally divide tuna salad into two sandwiches. Garnish with lettuce and a tomato slice, if desired. (Toast the bread first, if desired.)
Makes 2 sandwiches.
*Hollow out crispy baguettes or a large roll; heat them until the crusts starts to crisp. Then hollow all of the bread out of the middle leaving just the crust. Stuff the crust with the tuna salad, then drench with a fruity extra virgin olive oil.
**This recipe makes a great tuna melt. You can dd a slice of cheese and toast in a panini press or a skillet.
