Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp. reduced fat mayo
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 5- oz. can tuna (drained)
- 1 celery rib (minced)
- 2 Tbsp. red onion (minced)
- 1 green onion (chopped)
- 4 slices thick whole grain bread
- 1 tomato (sliced)
- 1/3 cup low fat shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped lettuce or arugula
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Set aside a small baking sheet.
- To a small bowl, add Greek yogurt, mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Add tuna, celery, red onion and green onions to the bowl. Stir to combine.
- Place your bread slices on the baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 2 minutes.
- Remove from oven and top two slices of bread with the tuna salad mix. Layer on sliced tomatoes and shredded cheese.
- Place back in oven and turn the oven to broil. Broil for 1-2 minutes, until cheese has melted, watching to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and add greens on top of melted cheese. Top each tuna melt with a slice of bread. Enjoy!
Notes
- This can be made in the microwave — just toast the bread in a toaster oven prior to assembling. Add the tuna salad, tomato slices and shredded cheese to a toasted slice of bread and place on a microwave-safe plate. Heat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds, watching closely, until cheese has melted.
- This recipe is best if enjoyed immediately.
