Ingredients:

– 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained and flaked

– 1/4 cup mayonnaise

– 1/4 cup finely diced celery

– 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

– Salt and pepper to taste

– 4 slices whole grain or your choice of bread

– 1 medium tomato, sliced into 4 pieces

– 4 slices cheddar cheese

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Preheat your broiler on high. Place your bread slices on a baking sheet and toast lightly on each side under the broiler, watching carefully so they don’t burn.

3. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lower the broiler temperature to medium-high.

4. Next, divide the tuna salad mixture evenly among the four slices of toasted bread.

5. Layer one slice of tomato on top of each portion of tuna salad.

6. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each pile of tuna salad and tomato.

7. Return the baking sheet to the broiler and cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Again, be sure to keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn.

8. Meanwhile, melt the butter or margarine in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

9. Remove the sandwiches from the broiler and carefully transfer them to the skillet.

10. Cook each sandwich for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Press down gently on each sandwich with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning.

11. Serve your perfectly-cooked tuna melts immediately, preferably with a side of crunchy pickles or your favorite chips.
