1 baguette-style loaf, about 20 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 cans (6 1/2 to 7 oz. each) oil-packed tuna, drained
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced into thin rounds
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives

1
Slice loaf in half lengthwise. Scoop out about 3/4 of the bread from the top and bottom halves to create pockets; discard scooped-out bread.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon peel. Spread generously over inside of loaf's top half.
3
In a medium bowl, stir together the tuna, tarragon, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into bottom half of loaf.
4
Top tuna mixture with radish slices, then the tomato, eggs, and avocado slices. Spoon olives over all and top with the other loaf half. To serve, slice into 6 equal portions.

Wine pairing: A fresh, lively dry rose--preferably a Grenache--is great with this sandwich; licorice in the wine can echo the tarragon in the sandwich.
