FROM THE PANTRY: TUNA, WHITE BEAN AND OLIVE FLATBREAD PITAS

Even if your pantry is close to bare, you probably have the fixin's for these super-simple and special flatbreads. The combo of sun-dried tomatoes and vinegar gives the bean spread a tangy earthiness that goes great with the tuna-and-olive salad. It's a perfect big snack or small meal. Or try the spread on your favorite crackers for party appetizers.

From the Pantry: Tuna, White Bean and Olive Flatbread Pitas image

Steps:

  • Pulse the beans, 4 of the sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the oil, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, granulated garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until blended and semi-smooth.
  • Thinly slice the 2 remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Gently toss them with the tuna, olives, roasted red peppers, the 2 remaining tablespoons oil, red pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl, breaking up the tuna slightly.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush one side of the pitas with oil, lay the oiled side on the griddle and cook until lightly charred in spots, about 1 minute. Transfer, charred-side up, to serving plates.
  • Spread some of the bean mixture on each pita, and top with some of the tuna-olive salad. Drizzle each with oil, and sprinkle with black pepper.

One 15-ounce can white beans, strained and rinsed
6 sun-dried tomatoes
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt
One 5-ounce can tuna packed in water or oil, strained
1/2 cup pitted black and green olives, roughly chopped
1/2 cup pitted black and green olives, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.
