Suggestions / Recipe Tips
- Tuna packed in oil is so flavourful. Using canned tuna packed in water (flaked or solid) will also work.
- This is a no-mayo sandwich recipe. If you prefer a creamier filling, add some Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.
- Bell peppers of any colour are delicious.
- Fresh tomatoes of any variety will work. I like to cut out the pulp and seeds, especially from large tomatoes.
- No salt is needed since the olives and feta are salty enough.
- Black pepper and basil are perfect, but you can also use Italian or Greek seasoning, rosemary, oregano, and fresh herbs.
- Butter is optional, and I chose not to use any. I find it adds extra calories.
- Bread or buns of any kind are perfect for making sandwiches. Toasting is a great option.
- Lettuce can be used as a final layer. It helps to keep the filling away from the bread.
- Filling can be made and kept in the fridge until ready to use.
- Store any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
