I'm a tuna sandwich lover from way back (childhood). I never would have thought that I would like any tuna sandwich other than the traditional one that I grew up with. This sandwich converted me. This tuna spread will tingle your taste buds with all the delicious flavors.

1 (6-ounce) can tuna
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon capers, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
2 large crusty rolls (halved) or 4 slices good-quality whole-grain bread
Whole-grain mustard or Dijon-style mustard
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1 hard-cooked egg, sliced
6 fresh basil leaves

In a small bowl, combine tuna, olive oil, garlic, wine vinegar, onions, capers, and mustard powder.

Spread roll halves or bread slices with mustard. Spread tuna mixture over mustard. Top with tomato slices, egg slices, and basil leaves. Top with remaining roll halves or bread slices. Transfer to individual serving plates to serve.
