An Italian Tuna Sandwich image

This is from About.com Italian Cuisine from Kyle Phillips. It's a tasty mayo-free tuna sammich. He says, "You might not think of a tuna sandwich as being particularly Italian. However, most Italians, especially those with more demanding jobs, eat out at least once a day and a full meal simply won't work if one has to then head back to the office and be productive. This is the sort of thing you might find in a trendy downtown eatery."

Way too much mayonnaise for my taste.

Not sure what went wrong, but mine turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't use enough mayonnaise?

I thought the recipe was a bit bland, so I added some extra lemon juice and capers. It was much better after that!

This was a hit at my last potluck! I made a double batch and everyone raved about it.

I was skeptical about adding sun-dried tomatoes to tuna salad, but it turned out to be a great addition! The tanginess of the tomatoes balanced out the richness of the tuna and mayo.

Easy, quick, and delicious, exactly what I needed for a busy weeknight dinner! Will definitely add this Italian tuna sandwich to my regular rotation.

OMG! This sandwich was ridiculously good, even my picky eater kids loved it. I used homemade pesto and sun-dried tomato bread, which took this tuna salad sandwich to the next level.
