2 tablespoons celery |
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers (or fresh red pepper) |
2 tablespoons parsley |
2 tablespoons black olives, pitted |
2 teaspoons capers, drained |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more to brush on the bread |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
pepper, to taste |
1 baguette (or 4 crusty rolls) |
Directions:
1. Finely chop onions, celery, parsley, red pepper, parsley, black olives and capers. Place in a bowl.
2. Drain tuna and add to chopped vegetables. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.
3. Split baguette lengthwise. Hollow out soft bread. Brush with additional olive oil.
