Years ago I worked in a tenant office building where there was this little snack shop who made basic food items. Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwiches in the AM and this tuna salad at lunch time. I had never eaten tuna prepared this way, in our family, tuna was the Bumble Bee brand packed in water. My Mom, being a nutritionist, back then thought this type of tuna was better for you. It is amazing how far tuna has not gone in 40 years. I became so addicted to this recipe, to this day, it is the only way I will eat a tuna sandwich. - Stockout —Stockout
This is a fun, flavorful twist to get you out of a standard tuna salad rut. Stockout just may have converted me forever to using tuna packed in oil, rather than water, as its texture and flavor are both fuller and softer than regular canned. This salad has a nice play between the zesty garlic and onion, sweet roasted pepper, tang of the vinegar, and kick of the black pepper. Bundling it all up in a big soft semolina roll made for a delicious, hearty lunch. - fiveandspice —The Editors
