Hello! I made your recipe and both my husband and I loved it! I made my own vegan mayo. And, for the recipe, I substituted a couple of ingredients, so it tastes like my traditional tuna sandwich. I added parsley and oregano ( no dill). And, I melted the "tuna" with the vegan cheese. I also added fresh avocado and garden tomatoes to the sandwich. It tasted delicious and I look forward to using this recipe on a weekly basis. I'm happy that I also found a recipe for the vegan mayo because it has cleaner ingredients than the store bought mayo. Thank you!! I look forward to trying more of your recipes.

Can’t wait to try this! By the way, where did you get those beautiful prep dishes?

So glad to find your channel! One of our local health food stores in the Tampa Bay area makes this recipe . They don't add hearts of palm and dill, so I think yours may be the winner. 😊
I plan to order your book!! ❤
