You won’t have to call your kids twice when serving these tuna fish sandwiches. The sight of these little fishies will bring a smile to their faces, and the lovely lemony-chive flavors will not disappoint. The tender greens in DOLE® Butter Bliss Lettuce add just the right amount of sweet and crunch – a combination that every sandwich deserves. Perfect for entertaining as well.
Directions
- Cut four bread slices into heart shapes with 2-1/2-inch cookie cutters. Cut ½ inch off the tip of hearts; set aside. Cut 2-1/2-inch rounds from remaining bread slices with cookie cutter. Set bread shapes aside.
- Stir together tuna, mayonnaise, lemon peel, and chives. Spread a thin layer of tuna salad on top of all bread shapes. Top 2 hearts and 2 circles with DOLE® Butter Bliss salad blend. Top with matching shapes, lightly pressing to secure. Use the circle sandwiches for the “body” and the heart sandwiches for the “tail”.
-
Decorate with red pepper or DOLE® Carrot circles for eyes, bubbles and mouth, if desired.
