Salade Nicoise Sandwiches

Makes 6 sandwiches

• 3 six-ounce cans of troll-caught albacore, drained
• 2 1-pound soft French or Italian bread loaves
• 3 tablespoons drained capers

1. Combine albacore, capers, mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice in medium bowl, add pepper to taste.

4. Spread on 1/2 cup of the albacore mixture, top with the sliced tomatoes and onions, and replace the top pieces of bread.
