The basil really gives this sandwich an extra special taste of goodness. Our family favorite. We have it at least once a week.

This sandwich was easy to make and with minimal ingredients it had a refreshing quality that had me going back for more!

We did the variation of substitute carrots and cucumbers and thought it was very good. The only thing we didn't care for was the strong taste of the basil, so the next time I make it I'm going to use less or try a different seasoning. I never would've thought to put veggies in a tuna melt but it was very good. Plus a good way to hide veggies from your kids!
