Description

Good quality tuna packed in oil, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, capers, a little fresh dill and the juice and zest of a lemon make this sandwich wonderful. You can make it even more special if you stuff a hollowed out toasted baguette with this tasty sala

Ingredients

• 2 - 5 oz. cans good quality albacore tuna, packed in olive oil (not packed in water, it has no flavor)
• 2 T. mayonnaise
• juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 2 T. celery, small diced
• 2 T. red onion, small diced or grated
• 1 1/2 t. capers, rinsed, drained and chopped
• 1 1/2 t. fresh dill, chopped
• 4 slices wheat bread or 2 baguettes or large rolls

Steps

1. Drain and discard excess oil from tuna.
2. In a large bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, celery, red onion, capers, and dill. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Equally divide tuna salad into two sandwiches. Garnish with lettuce and a tomato slice, if desired. (Toast the bread first, if desired.)
