i used canned instead of the pouches as i don't really care for the pouches and i doubled this recipe for our family. I also left out the cucumber as i don't care for cucumber either. I found this recipe very FRESH and loved it! It will be a regular menu item now!

I love this recipe. It is my new favorite tuna recipe. We ate it with the crisp cucumber salsa recipe.

I thought this recipe was delicious was not too strong. I didn't use spinach but just put lettuce on the sandwich. Even my picky daughter liked it.

Normally we like tuna fish salad but this recipe had too strong a flavor for us. I had never purchased tuna in a pouch. It might be better with canned tuna fish.
