Tuna Salad Buns

Submitted by AmyZoe

"Want to liven up your plain tuna sandwich? You won't believe this is tuna. The green olives are the secret to the extra zing. You can also just bake this in the oven without the buns and toss a little cheese on top for a delicious dip with vegetables or crackers. Recipe courtesy of The Pillsbury Cookbook."
