  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water, drained
  • 1/2 cup kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and minced
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon capers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices rustic white bread, or other dense white bread
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced, or 8 tomato slices
  • 4 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced

Directions
