Herby Wild Skipjack Tuna Tartines

Your fave deli sandwich revisited

I have such fond memories of tuna salad. Not just the sandwich but what it represents. It’s the lunch my dad would have every single day. At work during the week and at home on the weekends. “The usual Mr. Berrie?” The cook at his office cafeteria would ask when he made his way down to the canteen. I would get the same. I wanted to be just like him and lunch was a good place to start. His version was classic on toasted whole what pita bread but his one includes lots of local, seasonal shaved veg like bitter radish and pea shoots and packed with local fresh herbs. You really can’t go wrong with the herbs. I added chives, scallions and mint but dill and cilantro would do wonderfully as well. The idea is basically adding a whole garden to your sandwich :)

I do loosely follow food-combining so here we replace classic pita with toasted buckwheat bread, which is actually a seed not a grain. But either way when you toast your breads they digest easier than fresh bread (Fun fact!) hope you guys enjoy it and when you make it know you’re getting the Russ Berrie special :)
