This is a wow sandwich. DBF usually doesn't do anything that he thinks may be "diet food" - He was none the wiser on this one and enjoyed it almost as much as I did. I was concerned at first about mixing the lettuce up with the tuna, as it is different than how I usually make my tuna sandwiches. I was very pleasantly surprised because the lettuce added a lot more bulk to the sandwich without adding a lot of extra calories and it tasted delicious!
