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!

This is really good!! I wasn't sure that I would like it when I chose it, but I thought I would try it. I really liked it. I toasted it on my George Forman grill. It made it taste even better. I will be making this again.Thanks for sharing your recipe sage/Rita. Made forZWT 4 Italy Panini Challenge and for the Cafe ZMAKK Gypsies.

Very good! I especially liked the roasted red peppers in the tuna mixture. The provolone was an excellent choice. This will give me a reason to bring out the panini press more often. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT4
