Pan con Tomate on Toast

Pan con Tomate is a very popular tapa in Spain - not on whole wheat toast obviously, but that was all I had at the time.

Pan con Tomate (tomatoes, kosher salt, olive oil, basil and mozzarella are optional) - half ripe tomatoes and use a grater to remove fresh; discarding the skin. Add a little olive oil and season to taste with kosher salt. Spread on thin toasted slices of bread.

Tuna Salad on Fresh Baked Sunflower Bread

Tuna Salad on Freshly Baked Sunflower Bread.

Tuna salads are great for sandwiches. I like mine with just a little bit of dressing and not drowned in mayo.
