Tuna Cilantro Ciabatta

The last few tomatoes have been some of the sweetest of the season.  This simple sandwich beautifully showcases their stellar quality.

Tuna Cilantro Ciabatta

In a small bowl, flake tuna gently and toss it with the roughly chopped cilantro, the juice of one lemon, a generous sprinkling of ground celery seed, a light sprinkle of fine sea salt and several generous grinds of fresh black pepper.  Set aside.

In another small bowl toss the barely chopped cilantro with a splash of red wine vinegar, olive oil, a sprinkle of fine sea salt, and freshly ground pepper.  Set aside.
