These sandwiches were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would try using less butter or oil next time.

I didn't have any pesto on hand, so I used a mixture of mayonnaise, basil, and Parmesan cheese. It worked great!

The pesto overpowered the tuna. I would recommend using less pesto or a milder variety.
