For a richer flavor, use high-quality, imported tuna packed in olive oil. If you're sensitive to salt, start with less and adjust to taste. Anchovies can be quite salty. Tonnato sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld and deepen over time. Serve with cold roasted vegetables, crusty bread, or as a delectable accompaniment to grilled seafood.
