This Italian tuna spread is part of an antipasti spread. Serve with crostini, Melba toast, or crackers at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator covered. To reuse, bring back to room temperature. Do not microwave to reheat. It will turn to goop. It makes the best tuna fish sandwich you will ever have. Use iceberg lettuce, toasted bread, and thin slice of tomato. Yum!
