Hon that is a recipe I found on another site. Like you I thought it sounded delish. I have to wait til my next trip to Walmart to get some fresh dill for the recipe before I can try it. I love tuna.

janie- I shopped a bit tonight and was too busy/tired to cook so I got mom and I tuna subs from Subway. Their's is a bit wetter than my taste- but the flavor was still good- hit the spot!

Janie - I do a tuna salad about once a week and not too different from yours. The exception being a lot of Granny Smith apple as an extender.
