Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 7-ounce cans oil-packed light tuna (preferably Italian)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 whole pitas, each split into 2 rounds
4 ounces muenster or halloumi cheese, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups baby arugula
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drain the tuna, reserving 2 tablespoons oil. Toss the tuna, reserved oil, 1/4 cup parsley, the olives, red onion, the juice of 1/2 lemon, the smoked paprika, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Spread the tuna salad on 4 of the pita halves; top with the cheese and the remaining pita halves.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. One at a time, add the sandwiches and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, the remaining 1/4 cup parsley, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil and the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cut the tuna melts into wedges. Serve with the arugula salad.

MEDITERRANEAN TUNA SANDWICHES



Mediterranean Tuna Sandwiches image

This is adapted from Cooking Light magazine. It doesn't say to toast the bread but I did. I just found out someone else had this posted already so I'm changing it to my version. I can imagine eating this wrapped in lettuce leaves or as a tortilla wrap too. It is good with and without the mayo. YUM!
