“Like all the additional veggies--and I also added some chopped steamed broccoli florets. I am used to tuna salad that has some mustard and dill pickle in it--so usually end up adding some. I go a bit lighter on onion or add it cooked or steamed up a bit so it ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Hi, Gina. Very good recipe. Since I am trying to do a diet and am measuring everything, I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions. 1) Is there a volume measure for how much of the tuna mixture you used on the sandwich for your calorie count? ” — a cook, 5.0★
