A light, delicious tuna melt. You can use more mayonnaise than the recipe calls for if you wish. For the bread I used a loaf of whole grain unsliced Italian bread, very nice. Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) can tuna |
1 tablespoon mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/4 cup celery, diced |
1/4 cup red onion, diced |
1 granny smith apple |
fresh ground pepper |
1 loaf of rustic italian bread |
2/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Drain tuna and place in a medium-size bowl. Add mayonaise, lemon juice, celery and red onion.
2. Peel the Granny Smith apple, core and dice. Add to the tuna mixture.
3. Add freshly ground pepper to taste and gently combine mixture well.
4. Slice six slices from the bread loaf, about 1/2-inch thick. Cover the slices with the tuna mixture and top with the grated cheese.
5. Place slices on a cookie sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes. The cheese should be bubbly and the tuna mixture warmed through.
6. Serve immediately.
