Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans canned tuna (in olive oil)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 loaf baguette
- 1 clove garlic clove
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Remove the baguette slices from the oven and immediately rub one side of each slice with the peeled garlic clove for a hint of flavor. Set aside to cool slightly.
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork to break apart any large chunks.
Dice the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion and fresh basil leaves. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Drizzle the mixture with extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Gently toss until all ingredients are well combined.
Spoon the tuna mixture onto the toasted baguette slices, dividing it evenly among them.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or snack.
