This is one of my all time FAVORITE sandwiches. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Onions and olives go together well with the mayo in this recipe... YUMMO! The Finger Roll recipe is GREAT around the holidays and for baby and bridal showers, graduations, weddings, parties, and family get togethers. Just omit the lettuce if making the Finger Rolls. Each can of tuna will make 3-4 finger rolls, depending on how full you make them, and how big the rolls are. You can double or triple this recipe, according to how many Finger Rolls you need.

Delicious! I was looking for something good for lunch and this stood out to me. I made exactly as instructed. I added some Lays Potato Chips on mine for some added crunch and flavor. I will be making these often as they are such a good sandwich. Milt

    Nothing better than New England Style Hot Dog Rolls/Buns (For Lobster Rolls Etc.) grilled, then filled with a little lettuce and this filling! I ate the first one just about whole it was so good, then made myself another just because, well, because I wanted to! I had old fashioned kettle chips and dill pickles on the side and an ice cold Diet Coke to wash it down. Lunch couldn't have been better!

    This is a terrific tuna sandwich. I used less (low fat) mayo than ask for, baby spinach leaves for the lettuce and red onion. I usually add capers to my tuna sandwich's but the olives were a nice switch that still gave that bit of salt and flavor. A pita half was my bread of choice today. Yumm!
