How To Make Joe’s Garlic Pesto Tuna Salad Sandwiches

I love creating new variations for tuna sandwiches. I made this for my wife’s lunch the day before, and she wanted more for dinner that night! When I do this I don’t measure anything, I just start putting everything in the bowl…adjust to your taste and enjoy!
