I made this amazingly delicious sandwich in less than ten minutes last Saturday. The original recipe was featured in an old Health Magazine that I had stashed away for the purpose of trying all the recipes.
This particular sandwich was featured in the article "New Year, New Skinny You: Sensational lunches and dinners-400 calories each". To get this recipe up to 400, you'll need to add an orange on the side. Wow! Now that's a lot of food, and the omega-3 fatty acids in tuna will help you fill full longer.
My mom, not a great lover of tuna, was exceedingly surprised at how delicious is was. She asked me what was in it (imagine a voice filled with amazement here)...always a good sign. I'll definitely be making this again.
