Originally from Martha Stewart, I have altered it slightly (by omitting olive oil and using water-packed tuna) to make it lower calorie, yet still high in flavor. Ingredients:
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced |
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
coarse sea salt & freshly ground black pepper |
14 ounces tuna in water |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and |
lemon wedge (to garnish) |
4 small ciabatta rolls, split horizontally |
2 heads bibb lettuce, leaves separated |
1/2 cup nicoise olive, pitted (duh) |
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced |
Directions:
1. Put onions, vinegar and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium bowl, add pepper to taste. Toss and let stand for 10 minutes.
2. Add (drained) tuna to onion mixture. Add lemon juice and 1/4 tsp salt. Add more pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine.
3. Cover bottom halves of rolls with lettuce. Top with olives, eggs and tuna mixture. Cover with top halves of rolls. Serve with lemon wedges.
