-have fun cooking!
I know this is a tuna sandwich but it is a VERY different variety of tuna sandwich that is delicious and definitely not boring. Try slightly hollowing out a long loaf of Italian or French bread. Mix together your tuna with chopped kalamata olives, canned (in water) artichoke hearts, chopped shallot or green onion, grape tomatoes 1/2'ed, olive oil to make it all moist, juice of 1 lemon, and salt and pepper to taste. Fill your slightly hollowed out bread with this mixture and cut into servings. Yum.

3 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked


3 Tbs mayonnaise


2 stalks celery, chopped


2 Tbs sweet pickle relish


1 pinch ground black pepper


1 Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.


2 In a medium bowl, mix together tuna and mayonnaise. Mix in egg, celery, relish and black pepper.


Servings: 4


Preparation time: 20 minutes





alexandra, should I assume by your thumbs down you do not want a salad. you should have noted that..... Okay got your additional details. Perhaps you did not give the thumbs down, sorry.





Here is one more good one


Salad Nicoise


';For this salad, just open three cans: one each of tuna, white beans and sliced olives. Toss these ingredients with slivered red onion, olive oil and lemon juice. Take time, if you like, to boil eggs, or pick them up at the grocery salad bar. Serve the salad with steamed green beans. For an even simpler version, add a little chopped parsley to the salad for color and serve it with salted tomato slices.';


INGREDIENTS


3/4 pound green beans, trimmed and snapped in half


1 (12 ounce) can solid white albacore tuna, drained


1 (16 ounce) can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed


1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained


1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced


1 teaspoon dried oregano


6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


3 tablespoons lemon juice


1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest


Salt and ground black pepper, to taste


4 large hard-cooked eggs, peeled and quartered


DIRECTIONS


Place green beans, 1/3 cup water and a large pinch of salt in a medium skillet. Cover, turn heat on high, and bring water to boil. Once beans start to steam, set timer and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. (Because the beans cook in such a small amount of water, make sure not to let the skillet run dry.) Immediately dump them onto a lipped cookie sheet lined with paper towels to cool.


Mix tuna, white beans, olives and onion in a medium bowl. Whisk together oregano, oil, lemon juice and zest in a medium bowl, then pour over the salad and gently stir to combine.


Adjust seasonings to taste. Arrange a portion of green beans, tuna-bean salad and eggs on each of 4 plates.
