Eating Well Recipe...Best Tuna Salad Ever

When you don’t feel like cooking in the summer, what could be better?  I consider myself something of a tuna salad connoisseur, and this recipe is one of the only that incites greediness and bickering in my household about who gets the leftovers.  It is based on a sandwich from Nice, France and is therefore very Mediterranean.

Ingredients
•   1 12-oz. can solid white tuna,  thoroughly drained
•   ¼ cup minced red onion
•   2 garlic cloves, minced
•   2 tsp. minced capers
•   2 tsp. anchovy paste
•   6 pitted kalamata olives, chopped
•   1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
•   1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
•   1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
•   1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
•   1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
•   Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Spread mixture on bread (we prefer ciabatta, but foccacia works well too).  We like to add tomato slices and red leaf lettuce as well.
