This low fat, low calorie tuna sandwich recipe gets a punch of flavor from Starkist Tuna Creations Ranch, a tasty blend of tuna seasoned with buttermilk, garlic and herbs - just like the salad dressing! It's mixed with carrots, topped with cheese and spinach then grilled in a skillet for a crisp and delicious sandwich. Hungry Girl calls her creation a Ranch-fied Tuna Panini. We call it scrumptious!
