This is a fantastic recipe. The Italian tuna makes a difference. I think it would be great with chicken too. It yields so much it's perfect for a dinner party. I added more cilantro and basil. My husband already wants more!

Hello, I didn't think I would like this recipe and my husband was a little worried about it as well because he was in kitchen with me as I was preparing it. It turns out the salad was very tasty but not filling for husband at all. What side dishes do you fix with this? Next time I'm going to try it with chicken.

This recipe was delicious, and I will make it over and over again. I couldn't find any Italian tuna, so I just bought regular canned tuna in oil, which was fine. When I went to make this, I realized I didn't have any sourdough, so I used some good whole grain loaf I had in the freezer, which was a bit healthier anyway. It was fantastic. I highly recommend this.

I loved this recipe. It is a unique way to serve both tuna and slightly stale bread, who knew? I altered the recipe a touch by substituting honey mustard for dijion (not a fan, adding 1 tsp olive oil extra to the dressing and using 2 cans of tuna so my husband doesn't think I'm serving a light-weight meal. What I also love is that all the ingredients are already staples in my pantry making it that much easier to put together on the fly. Thanks Melissa!

For the most part I liked this recipe! But, I'm one of those people who try to use what I have in my pantry. In this case it backfired on me. The two ingredients I switched out were the bread and the tuna. I used a soft french loaf and smoked tuna in water (not oil. The bread got soggy and soaked up all of the good dressing and the smoked tuna added a funny tang to the salad. I will try this recipe again with the recommended ingredients. I absolutely loved the shollot. This was the first time I've used one and will totally use them again!

Since the airing of this episode, I have made this salad about 5 or 6 times. This is sooooo good and even the kids eat it all up. The only things I have done differently is that I saute the shallots briefly, make pan roasted sourdough bread croutons, and I add some honey to the dressing. Sometimes I didn't have the northern beans on hand, so I have even used pinto beans in place of them and they work great. Keep the wonderful flavors coming Melissa!

I am not rating the recipe, I am rating the ingredients. I don't know where she got her Italian Tuna in oil for a "few cents" more than regular canned tuna. I searched the web and the least expensive Italian tuna in oil was almost $8/per 6 oz can!! Most were more than that. Anyone, do you know where to get that tuna for a few cents more than $1? That's what canned tuna costs in my area (not on sale. I have noticed almost all the hosts on FTV are using that now and don't understand why the website cannot tell you where to get it for that price. Irritating. I love Melissa and her recipes, tho!

This was very good & filling. The Italian tuna really does make a difference, but is still pretty good with regular tuna & extra dressing for flavor. What a great way to use my baguette which I inevitably always let get too hard before using.

Thanks to Melissa for this great recipe. The flavors blend so well together that my husband who usually doesn't like Tuna out of a can asked for 2nd's!!! I love Melissa's recipe's that this one won't disappoint you. I sliced up the other half of the baguette, buttered and sprinkled garlic on them (broiled them to eat along with our dinner.

This salad is so simple to make and absolutely delicious. The ingredients blend with one another perfectly but the fresh basil really makes the salad, giving it a wonderful flavor. I made the recipe exactly as written except that I used leftover cooked fresh tuna instead of canned. I am always looking for recipes that I can make with leftover tuna and this one is definitely a winner that will go into our regular lineup.
