This was surprisingly good. The other ingredients give a lot of flavor and would be a good choice for people who aren't overly fond of tuna. P.S. I think that giving a recipe a lower number of stars because it's not a "company dish" is silly. Who would expect a tuna melt to be a special occasion meal anyway? Besides, I think it would be QUITE appropriate for a casual lunch for friends.01/09/08

Three stars only because I wouldn't serve it to company. But a delicious hot sandwich and pantry meal. I used 100 Calorie Thomas English muffins to boost the fiber. Added extra lemon juice. Used shredded Mexican cheese. I will make this again in a pinch.10/23/07
