This is a family favorite and I make it at least once a month. My son doesn't like tuna so I have also make this with diced chicken for him.

Good and simple recipe for a light summer dinner or buffet luncheon. I lightened it up by using light sour cream and mayo and only used 2 teaspoons of sugar in the filling.
