Lots of fun!<br/>The tuna salad used here is a good basic recipe; we found that it was kind of plain to roll up by itself (which is probably a good thing, because that made it flexible to roll up with other things).<br/><br/>Here's what we ended up doing that we found worked well:<br/>Made the tuna salad as written, and rolled it up with different types of diced & sliced fruits / vegetables / other sushi fixins. We had a lot of different rolls that all started with this base recipe. Doing this made for a REALLY fun evening, because we were doing rolls right there at the table, so we got to spend a lot of quality time with our friends.
