Tuna Nicoise Baguettes

• 1 12 ounce crusty baguette
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil (I use the olive oil drained from the tuna)
• 8 ounces red or Yukon Gold potatoes, boiled until soft and sliced thinly (I do not peel them)
• 4 eggs, hard boiled and sliced lengthwise into quarters
• 2 jars (6.7 ounces each) Tonnino tuna fillets in olive oil, drained
• 1/4 cup flavorful black olives (nicoise are classic but I used kalamata since I already had them), roughly chopped
• 4 ounces green beans, ends snipped and steamed until crisp-tender
• 1/4 cup capers
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Cut the baguette into four equal lengths. Slice each in half lengthwise and pull a portion of the interior out to create a hollow area to fill. Keep the interior bread for future croutons (I have a bag in the freezer that I add to and use as needed). Lay the baguette halves out on a cutting board for assembling.
2. Combine the mustard, red wine vinegar and olive oil in a jar. Cover and shake until combined. Spread a little on the inside of each baguette half.
3. Place the sliced potatoes in a medium sized bowl and add the remaining dressing. Toss gently to coat the slices.
4. Begin layering the ingredients equally on the four baguette bottoms: eggs, potatoes, tuna, olives, green beans and capers. Salt and pepper to taste and place baguette tops on.
5. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and chill for a couple of hours. Remove from the fridge about 20 minutes before you plan to eat them.
