1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup salad greens, preferably arugula and baby rocket
2 croissants or any crusty bread
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
- Drain tuna. Make sure to drain as much liquid as you can.
- Place tuna, onions, capers, jalapeño, and broccoli in a bowl.
- Add Dijon mustard, Sriracha sauce, and half of the red wine vinegar. (You may add some more if you want a sour bite.)
- Season with salt and pepper; mix gently so as not to break the tuna pieces.
- Slice croissants crosswise in half and toast until just golden brown.
- Place salad greens in a bowl and toss in olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place salad greens on croissants then add tuna. Top with remaining croissant halves and serve immediately.
