“I am not a big fan of tuna, but your picture looked delicious, lol! I showed this to my husband, who has been requesting tuna salad, and he agreed we should give it a whirl. This was really good! I’m not a fan of tomato either, so I put only half on mine, but ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Great go-to dish for quick lunch. The tomato really puts this over the top. It cuts the creaminess of the tuna. I used shredded cheese but thats the only change. Putting this into the stay-at-home lunch rotation.” — a cook, 5.0★
