tuna flatbread

Use the minced or diced veggies you like the best to make this versatile bread-salad, perhaps including something like thinly sliced mild pickled banana peppers, capers, or diced olives. If Sriracha Mayonnaise (just a bit spicy) doesn’t suit, use Ranch dressing or Ranch mixed with salsa in a 2-to-1 ratio.

Ingredients

  • 4 4- inch flatbreads, such as mini-naan
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
  • ½ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese or Parmigiano-Reggiano 2 ounces (optional)
  • 1 cup baby arugula or thinly sliced baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon each: whisked together with a pinch of salt and pepper: fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil (vinaigrette)
  • ¼ cup each: julienne cucumber, minced red bell pepper, thinly sliced green onion, thinly sliced red radishes, sautéed chopped asparagus
  • 5- ounce can tuna, drained, and broken up into ½-inch pieces with a fork
  • Sriracha Mayonnaise: see below

Instructions

  • If grilling or broiling, brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil for about 2 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear or breads are a bit crispy on the outside. Turn flatbread over and add a tablespoon or two of grated cheese, if using. Grill or broil for another minute or so or until cheese is melted. (If toasting, toast for 2 minutes and then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with cheese.)
  • Remove to plates.
  • Meanwhile, toss the arugula with a drizzle of the lemon and olive oil vinaigrette. Divide the dressed greens between the grilled flatbreads and top with a sprinkle each of the vegetables (cucumber – asparagus). Add the chunks of tuna on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with a last bit of salt and pepper. Drizzle with Sriracha Mayonnaise and serve warm or at room temperature.

Sriracha Mayonnaise: Whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise with ¾ teaspoon Sriracha sauce; thin with a teaspoon or so of milk so that it drizzles easily.
