1 kirby cucumber, seeded and finely diced (3/4 cup) |
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle |
3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard |
2 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced |
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill leaves |
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest from 1 lemon |

8 slices nine-grain bread |
1 hass avocado, halved, seeded, and sliced |
1 1/2 cup mesclun salad, or other lettuce |

Directions:
1. Break up the tuna in a medium bowl. Stir in the cucumber, olive oil, mustard, scallions, dill, lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper.
2. Lay the bread on a work surface and spread about 1/4 of the tuna mixture on 4 of the slices. Top with avocado slices and lettuce. Lay the tomato slices on the 4 remaining pieces of bread; season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Close the sandwiches, pressing each one together slightly. Serve.
