Tuna Salad Bruschetta
I love tuna so I’m always up for trying something new with my tuna salad. I found this awesome recipe on http://www.eatbetteramerica.com. I love it, but I want to hear how you like it or what you might do differently…
Tuna Salad Bruschetta
Prep Time:20 min
Start to Finish:1 hr 20 min
makes:24 servings
1 can (5 or 6 oz) albacore chunk white tuna in water, well drained
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (4 medium)
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped pitted kalamata olives
3 tablespoons French vinaigrette or olive oil and vinegar dressing
1/2 cup thinly sliced or finely shredded romaine lettuce
24 slices (1/4 inch thick) baguette French bread
1. In medium bowl, gently fold together all ingredients except lettuce and bread. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. (or you could prepare this mixture the night before)
2. Just before serving, stir lettuce into tuna mixture. Serve as topping for bread slices.
Clearly, if you’re only cooking for 1 or 2 you can cut the recipe in half OR…instead of using a baguette, use larger pieces of whole grain bread and you will be able to fit 1/3 of the mixture on one piece of bread.
