Instructions

Drain olive oil from the tuna and place tuna inside a small bowl. Shred the tuna into small flakes with a fork.
Add 1 tbsp fresh minced parsley. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Stir till combined. Add olive oil to moisten the tuna salad, if desired.
Place your bread slices on a plate. Spread each slice with ½ tbsp of hummus and ½ tbsp of pesto.
Place a few slices of Persian cucumbers on top of the spreads.
Mound a quarter of the tuna mixture onto each slice of bread.
Top each trencher with 1 tbsp of cannellini beans and ½ tbsp of diced tomato.
Garnish the trenchers with arugula, sliced radishes, and the leftover sliced Persian cucumbers. Serve.
