Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp white-wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 8- inch round loaf country-style bread
  • 2 cans oil-packed tuna 6 oz. each, drained
  • ¼ English cucumber sliced
  • ½ small red onion sliced
  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • 3 Tbsp jarred olive tapenade
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 large eggs hard-boioled and sliced

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, and mustard and season with salt and pepper. Toss tuna with the dressing.
  • Cut bread in half horizontally and remove most of soft interior crumb (you can save and freeze it for croutons).
  • Spread olive tapenade on bottom half of bread. Top with basil leaves and egg slices. Season with salt and pepper. Top with tuna, followed by cucumber and onions.
  • In a small bowl, mash together chickpeas and garlic together. Spread chickpea mixture on other half of bread, top with avocado, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Close sandwich and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place sandwich between two baking sheets and place a heavy skillet on top for weight.
  • Let rest for about 1 hour (or refrigerate, up to overnight).
  • To serve, cut into quarters.
