3 tablespoons Drained capers
¼ cup Mayonnaise
1½ tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
2 Soft French or Italian bread loaves; (1-pound)

2 packs Fresh arugula or watercress; (1/2-ounce)

Directions

*Available at Italian markets and specialty foods stores. If unavailable, puree ½ cup pitted, black, brine-covered olives (such as Kalamata) in processor or blender.

Combine all tuna, capers, mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice in medium bowl.

Season with pepper. Cut each bread loaf crosswise into 3 pieces, then halve each piece lengthwise. Pull out centers of bread pieces, leaving ½-inch-thick crusts. Spread olive paste on inside of each bread piece.

Cover olive paste with generous amount of arugula. Spread ½ cup tuna mixture onto each bottom piece of bread. Top with sliced tomato and sliced onion, then with top pieces of bread. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead.) Serves 6.
