Ingredients
- 1 x 4oz (115g) can tuna chunks
- 2 stalks celery (diced)
- 4 tablespoons mayo (divided)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Β½ teaspoon salt
- ΒΌ teaspoon ground pepper
- 8 slices bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tomatoes (sliced)
Method
- In a bowl, combine tuna with celery, mayo, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Using a fork, lightly mash the tuna mixture, but donβt over-mash. You want to keep some of the tuna chunks intact.
- Toast the bread in a pan with a little bit of water or oil until nice and toasty.
- Make the sandwiches by spreading mayo over the bread, then top with tuna salad, slices of tomato, and slices of cheese.
- If the cheese needs help to melt, place on a sheet pan and under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until melted.
- Close the sandwiches with bread, cut diagonally into triangles, and serve while still warm.
- Enjoy your Tuna Melt!
