Sure, the French are masters of fancy food, but they also know how to elevate the humble sandwich to something spectacular. All it takes is a superb baguette and a few quality ingredients creatively combined to yield portable perfection. Serve the tuna mixture over salad greens instead of bread if you prefer. Once opened, any unused canned tuna should be transferred to a covered container and refrigerated; use within 3 to 4 days.
Ingredients
Canned tuna packed in water
12 oz, drained and flaked
Cucumber
1 cup(s), diced peeled and seeded
Reduced calorie mayonnaise
⅓ cup(s)
Red onion
¼ cup(s), sliced, chopped
Dill
¼ cup(s), fresh, chopped
Capers
2 Tbsp, drained and chopped
Fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp
Whole wheat bread
10 oz, baguette variety
Instructions
1
Combine the tuna, cucumber, mayonnaise, onion, dill, capers, and lemon juice with a fork in a bowl until blended.
2
Slice the baguette lengthwise almost all the way through; spread open. Pull out about 1⁄2 cup of the bread from the center of both halves, leaving a 1⁄2-inch-thick border. (Use the scooped-out bread to make bread crumbs and freeze for another day.) Spoon the tuna mixture into the hollowed-out baguette. Close the baguette, then cut into 4 sandwiches. Yields 1 sandwich per serving.
