What a wonderful change of pace for tuna!!! I added extra mustard it needed some extra flavor for our taste. I did not have balsamic vinaigrette handy so I added Raspberry vinaigrette. They looked and tested great. Thank you very much for this, easy and really very nice looking recipe. I will definitely make it again! I took some pictures I intend to post them soon…

I have a growing family - 3 horses, 2 dogs (1 being a Great Dane)!, 2 children, 2 cats and a boyfriend. I work quite a bit either at work or on the farm taking care of the "children" - my boyfriend is a stay at home "step-dad" to all and is a former chef so we like to find new ways to cook old foods. This year we will be growing an organic garden and I am ever so excited about it. Organics are a large part of our lives, and they can really put a strain on your pocket book!
