Sometimes the last thing you want to do at the end of a long hot summer day is turn on the oven and make a meal. So here’s a delicious solution that requires no more heat than is necessary to grill up some bread.
The grilled bread in question, rubbed with garlic, is the sturdy and satisfying basis for bruschetta, an Italian appetizer that can carry many toppings but most often is graced with nothing more or less complicated than chopped fresh tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper.
In this case, I’ve topped a large bruschetta with a mound of no-cook tuna salad. In American terms, it’s an open-faced sandwich, and it takes just 30 minutes to prepare. And by the way, if you don’t own a grill, don’t despair: just toast the bread in a toaster.
Canned tuna is everywhere, of course, but I’d advise you to look for the brands that are sustainably caught and lower in mercury. Or use canned salmon instead.
