Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 (6-ounce) cans tuna in olive oil, drained

- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (16-ounce) ciabatta bread, halved horizontally

Directions
Puree the olives, oil, garlic, and zest in a food processor until smooth and spreadable. Blend in the mayonnaise. Toss the tuna, artichokes, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium bowl, keeping the tuna in small chunks.

I used this recipe in my own way, and it was amazing. The olives and artichokes, with lots of lemon and just a light bit of mayo was perfect with otherwise boring tuna.

Delicious! I'm hesitant about canned tuna sandwiches because I'm not a big fan of that particular tuna flavor. The tuna was very subtle in this recipe. All ingredients mixed wonderfully. I particularly loved the Kalamata olive pesto. I didn't have Ciabatta bread. I prepared the sandwiches on Potato bread. It still turned out delicious. I can only imagine how delicious this recipe will turn out next time I make it with Ciabatta or Sourdough bread. I added fresh basil and avocado to my sandwich. I love Giada's simple but flavor-packed recipes. The woman is a genius!
