- 1/2 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
- 1 dash fresh coarse ground black pepper
- 5 slices toast
- 5 slices tomatoes
- 5 slices American cheese, can sub swiss if preferred
Directions

This was really tasty, I had some prepared lemon dill sauce that I mixed with the mayo, tuna etc and then built the sandwich from there. I did sub carrot for celery though as that's what I had on hand. This is so flavourful that I don't really think it even needs the cheese on top, it's great on its own in a sandwich with some salad. Made for ZWT 4.

Very good, fresh and tasty! I served this on ciabatta bread with melted mozzarella. Thanks!

Very good. We left off the tomatoes since we don't like them, and I think they add that bit of moistness that is needed. I liked the lemon/dill combo, but I think there needs to be more of both. We also used swiss cheese on ours since we had some to use up. For the bread I used some flat bread rolls which worked nicely. Overall a good and simple sandwich, but could maybe use a bit more flavor.

This is very like my tuna salad, only your tuna melt is better! The only changes I made were to add minced sweet onion and while I served hubbys on toasted bread, I just put my portion directly on the cookie sheet (away from his) so had a lovely melt without the bread as I needed mine gluten-free. We both enjoyed this meal very much. Thank you.
