Slice the whole baguette in half or into four pieces for easier handling.

Open and drain the 3 cans of tuna, breaking it up with a fork in a mixing bowl.

Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise to the bowl with the tuna.

Pour in 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried basil into the mayonnaise and mix well.

Add the red bell pepper and minced red onion to the bowl.

Add 1/4 cup each of sliced green olives and sliced black olives, along with 1 tablespoon of capers, and mix everything together.

Gently fold in 4 ounces of feta cheese to the mixture, being careful not to smash it too much.

Spread 4 tablespoons of room temperature butter on the inside of the baguette halves.

Spoon the tuna salad mixture generously onto the buttered side of the baguette halves.

Top with the other half of the baguette and press down gently to hold everything together.

Wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap if taking them on a picnic to prevent them from falling apart.
