This was a nice recipe. We loved the lemon and dill. Thanks for posting. -
LOVED IT! Five stars for this recipe. I am dieting so I used reduced fat Hellmans and fat free yogurt to way reduce the fat content. It was delicious, thanks Kelly! -
This was good. I made this for me and my younger sister. I did change a few things. I used a light mayo and omitted the celery. My sister doesn't like celery that much. -
This is like how Jimmy John's does their tuna... mmmm

This was a little different than the usual tuna fish sandwich, but we enjoyed the lemon, dill flavor. We ate it cold as we had to take it on the road, but will try it as a melt soon. Made for ZWT5
