• Servings: 4
• 12 ounces tuna in olive oil, drained

• 4 slices swiss cheese
• 4 slices red onions, thinly sliced

Recipe

• 1 slice the bagel. place at least 2 tablespoons of the tapenade on each bagel slice, spreading it to the edges. you may need a little more or less. you want to really cover the bagel, this will keep it from becoming soggy.
• 2 mix the tuna, capers, lemon juice and mayo, breaking up the large pieces of tuna.
• 3 put about 1/4 of the tuna salad on the bottom slice of the bagel.
• 4 put a few slices of onion, if desired on top of the tuna.
• 5 top with a slice of swiss cheese or another cheese if you prefer, or leave it off. cover with the bagel top and press down.
• 6 wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors meld. can be made 24 hours in advance.
