Provided by Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

Categories Olive Quick & Easy High Fiber Dinner Basil Tuna Arugula Bon Appétit Pescatarian Dairy Free Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped mixed-olive tapenade
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
8 1/2-inch-thick diagonal baguette slices
4 6-ounce ahi tuna steaks (each about 3/4 to 1 inch thick)
4 cups (packed) baby arugula

Steps:

Mix tapenade, onion, basil, 5 tablespoons oil, vinegar, and lemon peel in medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.
Brush baguette slices and tuna on both sides with oil. Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add baguette slices; toast until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add tuna to same skillet; cook to desired doneness, 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Divide arugula among 4 plates. Cut tuna into slices; arrange atop arugula. Spoon tapenade vinaigrette over tuna. Place 2 baguette slices alongside each and serve.

Tips:

Use high-quality olive bread: A good olive bread will have a slightly crunchy crust and a soft, flavorful interior. Look for a bread that is made with good-quality olives and olive oil.

Make sure the tuna salad is well-seasoned: The tuna salad is the star of the show, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a good-quality mayonnaise, and add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.

Don't skimp on the arugula: Arugula adds a peppery bite to the sandwich that helps to balance out the richness of the tuna salad and olive bread. Use a generous amount of arugula, and don't be afraid to add more if you like.

Serve the sandwich immediately: This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh. The olive bread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long, so make sure to serve it as soon as it's made.

Conclusion:

This tuna salad on olive bread with arugula is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone, and it's a great way to use up leftover tuna. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this sandwich a try!
