*********
Made March 6, 2011. Not bad. It was pretty good with the tomatoes and lettuce. Jared added crumpled tortilla chips and salsa to his and really liked it. Aaron ate the tuna salad on a tortilla chip with salsa. He actually ate about 6 of them befor he decided he was through. I ate one that was leftover and it really is pretty good with the salsa and chip!

We didn't have the Italian bread so we just used our sandwich bread.
