Tuna nicoise sandwich

< More Lunch Recipes

Packed with goodness, colour and flavour, this sandwich was inspired by my favourite Summer salad, Salade Niçoise.

  • Serving: Makes four sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 2 cans tuna in sunflower oil, drained and broken up into small chunks
  • 4 anchovy fillets, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons capers, rinsed, dried and roughly chopped
  • 1 heaped tablespoon good quality mayonnaise
  • 4 grinds of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 loaf of brown or white Genius Gluten Free Bread
  • 55g/2oz good quality unsalted butter for spreading

  • 1 handful of baby salad leaves

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix together the tuna, anchovies, capers, mayonnaise and black pepper.

  3. For each sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon of tuna mix onto the bottom slice of bread.
  4. Sprinkle the tuna with some chopped black olives. Arrange the tomato slices on top, followed by the sliced egg and a sprinkling of red onion. Lastly cover the filling with baby salad leaves and place the second slice of bread on top.
  5. Slice the sandwiches on the diagonal and enjoy!
