Perfect light dinner for a summer evening!

I will try this recipe again, except I will add some pickle relish and a little mayo. It was very dry and lacked flavor. I think the pickle relish of just the juice will help the flavor

Reviewed on May. 13, 2009 by dawnrosanne

These were great and I don't usually like tuna. I doubled the recipe and ended up with about 8 half sandwiches.
