Me 'n canned tuna are good buds from way back, and the twist with the balsamic definitely caught my eye! Thanks! :-)

I like the little squirt of dijon for flavoring - sounds very good, and I do love tuna salad...always a favorite!

I just read this recipe the other day. It's from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook. They said mixing the seasonings in FIRST with the tuna, just like you have it listed, made an incredible difference rather than just adding it in with the mayo.
