Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Mazola corn oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 3 (5 oz) cans tuna packed in water, drained
  • ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 slices low-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the whole wheat bread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the Mazola corn oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Place the tuna, red pepper, red onion, parsley, oregano, and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the corn oil and vinegar mixture. Toss gently to combine.
