Looking for a tasty and easy way to enjoy a classic tuna melt? Look no further! My recipe takes this comfort food favorite to the next level.
Ingredients:
Canned Tuna: Use three 5-ounce cans of tuna in water and drain well. White albacore tuna will give a lighter color and firmer texture. Light tuna will be darker in color and softer in texture, with a more robust fish flavor.
Mayonaise: The emulsified egg and oil sauce adds creaminess to the salad.
Vegetables: Celery and red onions add a delicious crunch and freshness.
Relish: Add tanginess with sweet pickle relish, dill pickle relish, or chopped pickles.
Herbs: Sliced green onions and chopped parsley add an herbaceous taste.
Mustard and Citrus: Dijon and lemon juice add a hint of spice and tartness.
Seasonings: Salt and pepper enhance the savory taste.
Bread: Purchase thick pieces of white, wheat, or sourdough bread, about ½ inch thick. This will create a sturdy sandwich.
Cheese: Add about 1 ounce of mild or sharp cheddar—two slices or ¼ cup grated.
