One weekend while camping, my sister-in-law whipped up a simpler version of these tasty tuna bites as a snack. I decided to add capers, shallot, and lemon to make these elegant enough to serve at your next dinner party! I highly recommend using Mary's Gone Crackers® brand seed crackers; they not only provide the perfect nutty flavor, but they are also very crispy and sturdy, allowing these to be made an hour or two ahead of time.

Ingredients

1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in oil, drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced shallot, divided
1 tablespoon minced capers, divided
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
20 seed crackers (such as Mary's Gone Crackers™)
40 leaves arugula

Directions

Combine tuna, mayonnaise, 1/2 of the shallot, 1/2 of the capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Place crackers on a serving platter. Place 2 arugula leaves, torn in half, on each cracker. Divide tuna mixture among the crackers. Sprinkle with remaining shallot and capers.

Cook's Notes:

I prefer tuna packed in oil as it is more moist, however if you are using tuna packed in water, you may wish to drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil into the mixture.

For a simpler, quicker version, mix the tuna with just mayo, salt, and pepper.
