We made these for dinner last night and they were delicious! I did add a little bit of light mayo to the tuna. Next time I think I will mix the pesto in with the tuna before spreading it on the bread, too. Overall, outstanding recipe, thank you! -
Yum, I never would have thought of using pesto & tuna together but it definitely works. Thanks Kit for a tasty lunch in which I'm getting a good dose of Omega-3...

Wow this is wonderful!!! I used shredded mozzarella instead of sliced. This is so good, my kids and I loved this!! Thanks for posting!! -
These were really good. The pesto is a nice change from plain tuna salad. I like not adding mayo to the tuna, so all flavors come through. Used swiss instead of mozzarella. -
Made this for lunch today for my first recipe for ADOPT-A-CHEF, this is great! So easy and so tasty. I knew it would be. Lots of my favorite ingredients. Made extra and froze--will post later about how these did after freezing. Anyhooo, will make again.Thanks for a super lunch! Caroline
