Mediterranean tuna sandwich
Serves 2
Packed with flavor and goodness,
this Mediterranean-inspired sandwich is a great way of jazzing up a
humble can of tuna.
6 oz (170g) canned tuna, mashed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ clove garlic — minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 black olives — finely chopped
2 romaine (cos) lettuce leaves — shredded
4 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
1 large tomato — sliced into rounds
8 sliced cucumber rounds
A few thin slices of red onion
1 oz (30g) shaved or very thinly sliced Parmesan cheese
8 basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
IN a small bowl, mix together the tuna,
Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and black
olives. SPREAD 2 slices of the bread evenly with the tuna mix. TOP
with the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, shaved Parmesan, red onion and
basil leaves. SEASON with salt and pepper, cover with the top half
of the bread, and cut each sandwich in half to serve.
