Tuna Salad

Method

Tuna Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Tuna Salad

    In a medium bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped red onion, and dijon mustard. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.

  2. 2

    Season the Salad

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Take two slices of bread and spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a generous amount of the prepared tuna salad. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tuna. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

  3. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich and grill for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with your choice of side.
