An upscale version of a sandwich classic, this stir-together tuna salad comes together quickly. We’ve called for French rolls, but you could use whatever you prefer—light whole wheat bread, rye bread, Italian bread, ciabatta, or serve it with crackers or simply just fruit. Use whatever variety of tuna you prefer, just make sure you choose a brand packed in water; oil-packed varieties can change the final flavor of the tuna salad. The Bibb lettuce and cucumber slices add crunch and freshness. Use an English cucumber if you want to skip seeding it—English cucumbers have thin skins and small, edible seeds.
