Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 8¾-inch-thick slices baguette, cut on the diagonal
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, from 2 lemons
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna in olive oil, drained, reserving 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced crosswise
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush top side with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 2 tablespoons mustard, and reserved tuna oil; season with salt and pepper. Add tuna, beans, parsley, shallot, and celery; toss to combine.
  3. Spread bread with remaining 2 tablespoons mustard. Top each bread slice with tuna salad, and serve.
  4. NOTE: As I was writing this blog and reminiscing about my tuna fish on rye sandwiches, I got the brilliant idea to swap out the regular baguette for toasted rye bread rounds. If you're also a tuna on rye fan, give it a shot and let me know how it goes!
