I feel like I'm stalking you Jen but really I'm not...LOL I really love new recipes and this one looks great.. Only thing is I personally would use salmon instead of tuna.. LOL I'm just not a tuna person..

You again! Just kidding! Salmon sounds like it would be good. I have to admit I've never eaten canned salmon (never had the nerve) but I can imagine a filet flaked up and in it. Spicy salmon would be good, also. There is a recipe somewhere around here that has a chipotle pepper glaze on it that gives me an idea (It also has sugar, though) and I bet that some salmon broiled with peppers or hot sauce would be great in this. A nice spicy spread!
