Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Drain the tuna and weigh the corn. Chop the onion and dice the tomato. Finely chop the fresh herbs. Transfer everything to bowls.
In a bowl, mix the tuna with the mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut open the demi baguette and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with the tuna salad and then with the cheese. Bake in the oven for 6 - 8 minutes.
In a salad bowl, combine the mustard with the extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in half of the onion and tomato. Shortly before serving, add the lettuce to the salad bowl and toss well to combine with the dressing.
Serve the tuna melts on plates and serve with the salad alongside. Serve the bowls with fresh vegetables and herbs on the table so as to allow everyone to assemble their own baguettes.
Did you know... corn is rich in magnesium, which plays an important role in the formation of bones and muscles. Other good sources of magnesium include peanuts, pulses, bananas, wholegrains and cocoa.
