Very good. I roasted my own red peppers which is so easy to do and sour cream instead of the yogurt. Next time I will add even more veggies as I love them so much. Thanks for posting!

The additions to this tuna filling raise canned tuna to a gourmet level. I used a thick-sliced whole-grain sourdough bread, but everything else the same. The leftovers were good too, as a cold sandwich the next day.

Yum! this surprised me, but the flavors went together so well. Artichokes in tuna? So good. This is why I love ZWT. Thanks for sharing!
