Description

If you love tuna, with a little bit of luck with rest of ingredients you've got dinner served! Always delicious.

Ingredients

For the side:
1 medium carrot
5 radishes
1/2 pickle
3 to 4 tbsp pickle juice

For the tuna melts:
1 stalk celery, minced
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tbsp minced red pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 cans (about 10 total ounces) albacore tuna, oil or water packed
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 whole English muffins or other your favourite bread roll
8 slices Swiss cheese, or Cheddar

Directions

1. Make the pickled veggies:
Peel and slice the carrot in half down its length and then into thin half-coins. Slice the radishes in half and then slice into half-coins as well. Do the same with the pickle.
Stir the vegetables together with 3 tbsp of pickle juice to coat. Set aside for a few minutes while you make the tuna melt muffins. Taste, and add more pickle juice if needed.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F.

3. Make the tuna mixture: In a medium bowl, stir together minced celery, onion, red pepper, salt, pepper, and tuna. Fold in the mayo last.

4. Prep the tuna melts: Spread out English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Add half a slice of cheese to the bottom of each muffin. Top each muffin with about two tbsp of tuna salad mix. Top with second half of cheese.

5. Bake:
Bake the tuna melts for 12 to 15 min until muffins are browned around the edges and the cheese is melted.

6. Serve:
Serve while warm with pickled veggies on the side (optional).

Enjoy!
