Have made this recipe for years and it's my husband's favorite of my quick and easy meals. Since I'm a vegetarian I make a second braid substituting broccoli and tofu in place of the tuna. I've also used other fillings like spinach and feta, broccoli and chicken... so many options but the tuna is always the best.
