  • “Made this for Chives Herb of the Month.As with both reviewers, it needed something, but I wanted the tuna to stand out too.I added some kalamata olives, lemon zest, and some fresh parsley and that was it.Just a bit more salt and that fresh parsley for a little more flavor.I served it on baguettes lightly toasted. I think on a sandwich it would be very rich for me, but loved it on baguettes or on crackers for a dip.None left, isn’t that the perfect sign!Thx”

  • “I made this for sandwiches and we all enjoyed them, I used lite cream cheese and like chia think its just missing that little ‘something'”

  • “this is very rich and creamy. the hot sauce added great flavor, i added extra.i do think this needed something extra, maybe olives or pickles, i’m not sure.”
