An Italian Tuna Sandwich
"This is from About.com Italian Cuisine from Kyle Phillips. It's a tasty mayo-free tuna sammich. He says, "You might not think of a tuna sandwich as being particularly Italian. However, most Italians, especially those with more demanding jobs, eat out at least once a day and a full meal simply won't work if one has to then head back to the office and be productive. This is the sort of thing you might find in a trendy downtown eatery.""

This is delicious. I never would of guessed that green olives (which I love) would taste so good with tuna. This never made it to a sandwich. Instead, I put the tuna mixture on a bed of spring lettuces with some low fat ranch dressing. This was so good, I made a salad for lunch and dinner. Thank you for posting this recipe Heahter N. -
