Mediterranean Tuna Sandwiches image

This is adapted from Cooking Light magazine. It doesn't say to toast the bread but I did. I just found out someone else had this posted already so I'm changing it to my version. I can imagine eating this wrapped in lettuce leaves or as a tortilla wrap too. It is good with and without the mayo. YUM!

I wasn't a fan of the Mediterranean flavors in this sandwich. I think I'll stick to my traditional tuna salad recipe.

This sandwich was a little too salty for my taste, but it was still good.
