Excellent! I was lazy so I mixed the dressing into the main and added another can of tuna. I loved it. Filled about 20 shells. Thanks NurseDi you rock!

Made this for lunch today and it was soooo good. The filling and sauce had the best flavor. My husband and I spent spent a couple of hours outside doing yard work and we had worked up a sweat and an appetite. This tasted so good to me icy cold out of the refrigerator. Served atop a bed of leafy lettuce leaves. Thanks for another great one.
