I prepared this tuna salad for lunch and converted it to a sandwich as another reviewer did. I omitted the cayenne and subbed more mayo for the sour cream. I served it as a sandwich with a slice of tomato and the same lettuce as the salad. A definite winner. We loved it at lunch today.<\/p>

I love Tuna and enjoy making different variations. This salad is so good! I'd highly recommend it. The only change I made is to exclude sour cream just because I'm not a fan.
