Tuna, Tomato and Basil Grilled Potato Planks | Easy Gluten-free Appetizer Recipe

Tuna, Tomato and Basil Grilled Potato Planks is an easy gluten free appetizer recipe, which would work well as a light lunch or snack as well. It is also dairy free, so the recipe fits with a GFCF (gluten free, casein free) eating plan.

Making Tuna Tomato Grilled Potato Appetizers

I make potatoes like this on the grill a lot in the summer.  The potatoes themselves make an excellent side dish for most any summer meal.  The use of these grilled potato planks as the base of a gluten free appetizer was simply a natural occurrence.  I have taken to using the leftover grilled potatoes as snack with toppings, and chicken and tuna salads have become some of my favorite toppers.

Making these appetizers with hot freshly grilled potato planks is even better.  The cold tuna salad makes a refreshing contrast against the still warm potatoes and the fresh tomato and basil bring it up a notch in summer flavor.

Make it a Meal

About 5-6 of these little potato appetizers roughly equate to a tuna salad sandwich, and there is no need to have chips or fries on the side, you are sort of already eating them.
