Looks delicious! I can see myself making it a lot, since it uses ingredients that I’ve almost always got on hand.

My only problem would be that the cats are obsessed with tuna and I would never be able to eat this in peace!

Well, you did it. You achieved the rare one-two of a simple “like” in the challenge thread, and a “love” in the recipe thread. It’s not a looker by any means, but I do love how the ingredients together. Even though tuna often swims in seas of mayo, you can actually appreciate the fact that tuna is a fish with these ingredients.

Thanks for that one. It is a very nice enhancement to the tired old tuna sandwich. I don't like celery at all but I'm a big fan of capers. I'm not a fan of canned tuna either but I will pick up some frozen tuna at the supermarket today. I have some ciabatta in the freezer to use as a base. It is my standard sandwich bread. There I go modifying recipes again.
