This tuna melt is the ideal way to use canned tuna. A cheesy, classic sandwich filled with a flavorful tuna salad always seems to hit the spot.
Ingredients
4
servings
1/3 c. mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Drain tuna, then add to mayonnaise mixture. Using a fork, break up tuna into flakes. Add celery, pickles, onion, and parsley and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Top an unbuttered side with about 1/2 cup tuna salad, 1 to 2 slices tomato, and 2 slices of cheese. Top with another slice of bread buttered side up. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
