How to Make Garden Tuna Melt

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (5 ounce) can tuna (drained), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon celery salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread. Top each with 1 slice of cheddar cheese and another slice of bread to make 4 sandwiches.
  3. Spread the outsides of each sandwich with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or softened butter.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
