DIJON-CILANTRO TUNA SALAD ON WHOLE GRAIN BREAD



Dijon-Cilantro Tuna Salad on Whole Grain Bread image

Published in Bon Appetit April 2009. For the longest time I wouldn't eat tuna salad because eating meat from a can just seemed gross! But one Friday night I was pressed for time and needed to make something for dinner for myself and my hubby. I randomly threw some stuff together and made a tuna salad which was surprisingly good. Now that eating meat from a can (well at least tuna) doesn't bother me I'm on the look out for tuna salad recipes and this one sounds great!
