  1. Made as directed I agree with other reviewers that it needs something extra. Wanted to use as sandwich spread but 2 cans is not enough tuna added 2 more cans for a thicker more spreadable consistency I won't use this recipe again and will keep searching for the perfect tuna sandwich spread. This one is not it.
     
  2. Made this for Chives Herb of the Month. As with both reviewers, it needed something, but I wanted the tuna to stand out too. I added some kalamata olives, lemon zest, and some fresh parsley and that was it. Just a bit more salt and that fresh parsley for a little more flavor. I served it on baguettes lightly toasted. I think on a sandwich it would be very rich for me, but loved it on baguettes or on crackers for a dip. None left, isn't that the perfect sign! Thx
     
  3. I made this for sandwiches and we all enjoyed them, I used lite cream cheese and like chia think its just missing that little 'something'

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
