For a creamy rich and zesty appetizer, these tuna and cream cheese-filled pinwheels fit the bill. They are a grand way to begin your entertaining as they can be made ahead and parsley-rolled just before serving.
For variation, omit the tuna fish, garlic, and lemon juice and substitute parmesan cheese and chopped red or green pepper. Or use chopped ham, chopped green onions, and mustard.
Serve with sliced radishes and zucchini or cucumber rounds.
Money-saving.
Makes 16 pinwheels.
