Preparation
- Step 1
Cut the rolls in half, sandwich fashion. Pull out a small amount of the soft inner portion. Crumble and set aside.
- Step 2
Brush each of the eight cut portions with a half teaspoon of vinegar and with a half teaspoon of oil.
- Step 3
Put the reserved crumbled bread pieces into a bowl and add the tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, radishes, onion, green and black olives, capers, garlic, tuna, basil, remaining four teaspoons of vinegar, remaining 10 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper and the hard-cooked eggs. Toss gently to blend thoroughly.
- Step 4
Heap one-fourth of the salad onto four sandwich roll halves. Top each with a second half and press. Wrap each sandwich tightly in clear plastic wrap and leave at room temperature until ready to serve.

no capers, no shredding anything, no dicing, no basil, no green olives
ADD celery, black nicoise olives, that is all and that the way we do it in NICE, France
Coming from Nice too - where are the anchovies? Or at least some anchovy paste!

This sandwich was wonderful. I left off the radishes and green peppers, because I don't eat them, but overall a very satisfactory experience!
