I used roasted red peppers in this and subbed shallots for the green onions, other than that I followed the recipe as listed. I was surprised that there was very little heat to this because of the cayenne, but it was fantastic with that little kick! A make again for sure.

A really nice change from regular old tuna salad sandwich. I substituted 1 1/2 tsp Teeny Tiny Spice Co. Cajun seasoning for the paprika and black pepper; 1/8 tsp Tears of the Sun Hot Sauce for cayenne and a little lime juice for extra tang. Spread on toast, it will join my regular lunch rotation.

Yum! I served these on toast with lettuce for some delicious lunch sandwiches. Loved that little cajun kick!
