I love the zesty flavour in this tuna melts dish and so does the rest of my family, will be whipping this up again for easter.
Brought this to work and everyone wanted to know what it was, super duper easy to make and extremely flavourful, would instantly recommend to anyone who loves tuna.
Yummy dish but I don't like having to go out and buy all those ingridents,especially the mozzarella. I'll be sticking to the Tuna salad from now on, good tasting recipe though.
Cooked this yesterday and fell in love instantly,will be making more of this soon.
This is one of my favorite side dishes to put on the table and easily the first side dish to be eaten up in less than 5 minutes!
Made this and had some pasta along with it, super filling and has a great taste.
