Rustic Tuna Salad with Artichokes on Gorgonzola Garlic Bread


Tuna Salad Ingredients

Serving size: About 3-4 cups

2 cans of tuna in water
15 grape tomatoes halved
1.5 TBSP minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 artichoke heart chopped (or four quarter pieces if you buy the pre-cut jarred artichokes)
1 TBSP capers (if they are larger capers, cut them in half)
1/2 cup Hellman's Creamy Balsamic mayo
Dill, Parsley, Oregano, Salt, and Pepper (use however much you desire - I used about a teaspoon of Dill, Parsley, and Oregano and a small amount of salt and pepper)


Directions for the Tuna Salad

1.  Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix together well.  



2.  Spread mixture onto slices of bread to make a sandwich or to eat open-faced.  I spread the tuna salad on Gorgonzola Garlic bread.  I got the recipe for this bread at Thibeault's Table ( http://www.thibeaultstable.com/2011/02/italian-garlic-bread-with-gorgonzola.html ).  The only difference is that I used a larger loaf so that I would have larger bread slices.  The combination of tuna salad and a hint of Gorgonzola was incredible and very rich!
