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.
