The best and most delicious easy-to-make tuna melt!
I loveeee a good tuna melt for lunch! They’re simple and easy to make and are always delicious. I’m sharing my recipe for a healthier version of this classic lunch staple! Enjoy!
Ingredients needed to make this tuna salad:
- canned wild-caught tuna: alwayssss opt for wild-caught fish!
- mayonnaise: (I always use the Primal Kitchen mayo, as I find it’s made with the cleanest ingredients).
- dijon mustard: because what’s tuna salad without some dijon mustard mixed in for flavor?!
- celery: for the best crunch (and a great way to sneak veggies in)!
- red onion: also for the crunch-factor and gives the tuna salad lots of flavor.
- lemon juice: love the flavor that it gives this tuna salad.
- garlic: for flavor!!
- salt and pepper: adjust to your liking!
- bread: I recommend whole wheat, sourdough, gluten-free or paleo bread.
- cheese: always opt for grass-fed and organic. I like swiss or cheddar for this. I buy a block of cheese so I can freshly grate it on top. Sliced cheese works as well.
