I guess I'm too much of a traditionalist in tuna salads, but thought this had a few too many things going on. It was very flavorful, and will try it again, maybe leaving out an ingredient. And I think I probably used a little too much mayo, so will cut that down as well. I do think the toasted balsamic toast was a good way to go with the bread! Thnx for posting, Engrossed.

I think I have just about used up all of the ingredients in the fridge from the tour for Italy. I made half of this up proper for my husband and the other half for minus a few things I don't care for. (like capers and raw onion). I used sun-dried tomato pesto which I think gave it a bit more flavor and probably was heavy handed with everything else. Very nice change from your regular old tuna and definitely toast the bun. This will go into rotation around here. Thanks! Made for ZWT4.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
