Ingredients
- 1 (2-ounce) can anchovies
- 3 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cans light chunk albacore tuna packed in olive oil

Add the tuna, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the mayonnaise and the vinegar to taste. If the anchovy flavor is too strong, add more lemon juice and black pepper to dial it back. Spoon the salad on top of one slice of toasted bread and cover with a second slice. Repeat until you have 4 sandwiches. Cut each in half to serve.
