Zenith...this is truly sensational...the best tuna sadwich I have eaten! I did not have cilanto so I substitued a pinch of dried tarragon because we like that taste. I also did not use alfalfa sprouts and replaced English with regular cucumbers. The mix of the sweet with the tart and spicy is incredible. I will make this over and over.

I doubled this complete recipe and used lemon juice in place of the lime, this definately needed more mayonnaise for my family's taste, I enjoyed the combination of spices, but will reduce the fresh coriander amount by half next time, I used about 1/4 cup for a double recipe and it was a little too much, thanks for sharing Loves2Teach!...Kitten

very good, light, healthy lunch. I used the tuna in the pouch, used regular mayonnaise(I'm not a fan of most low fat products), I also added sliced radishes and sweet onion, I also used cilantro on mine, I substituted garlic Tabasco for the regular and I tried using sesame seeds on one and BBQ peanuts on another... I gotta say just a few of the peanuts were great. This is one of those recipes you can change to your own taste, it seems no matter what you do with it, you can't go wrong. Thanks for posting, I've been looking for a good tuna alternative!

I am a teacher, and have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 9 years. I have a niece who is 7, and a nephew who is 1. Also, I have 2 sweet kitties. Sinatra is a bit on the plump side, and Audrey is a petite dainty thing. They both are almost mirror images of each other.
