Smokey Apricot Tuna Salad on Fancy Bread

Tuna salad made with celery and sesame seeds sauteed in olive oil, balsamic vinagrette, and chipotle Tabasco, then mixed with yellow mustard, sweet relish, chopped apricot, and spices like basil, dill, pepper, and garlic powder. Served oven toasted atop a slice of fancy baked bread like you get at Macaroni Grill and sprinkled with feta cheese. Garnished with leafy part of celery stalk (as a joke, but it actually looked pretty fancy).

NB: For the first time ever I had a raw apricot. I was really impressed with the fruit. It tasted great. It's the perfect snack size. And except for the seed, you basically eat the entire thing. How fun! I love apricots now. So I bought some at the Super Wal-Mart near buy and got the crazy idea that it would go well in a tuna salad mixture. I was right. I bet they'd also be good in cereal. I'll prolly try that in a couple of days.
