Trust me you will be craving this often once you try it! --- you may use regular white salt but the seasoned salt is better, also use as much cheese and tomato slices as desired, I sometimes add in some chopped sweet yum yum pickles to the tuna filling too --- low-fat mayonnaise and cheese may be used 
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water, well drained
- 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise (can use more, or use regular-fat mayonnaise)
- 1-2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or use 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar)
- 1 large celery rib, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- seasoning salt
- lemon pepper or black pepper
- 4 slices pumpernickel bread or rye bread, large slices
- 4 slices tomatoes
- 4 slices swiss cheese (or use as much cheese as you like, or use mozzarella cheese)
Directions
1
Set oven to broiler heat.2
In a bowl mix tuna, mayo, lemon juice (or red wine vinegar) celery, green onions and parsley; mix well.3
Add in seasoned salt and lemon pepper to taste.4
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and broil for 1 minute or until lightly toasted.5
Remove from heat, divide and spread the tuna mixture on top of each bread slice.6
Place one cheese slice over the tuna, then one tomato slice (you can use 2 tomato slices if your wish) then another slice of cheese on top.7
Return the layered bread to oven and broil for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

I am not a big tuna fan but I have been looking for ways to incorporate it into my diet. This recipe was fantastic. We loved the combination of flavors. Thanks Kittencal- I know I can always trust your recipes.

Made this on a thick French Roll and used Provolone cheese instead of Swiss. This is delicious!

Another one to easily rate 5 stars!This is now a staple in our home. A quick go-to meal that everyone, kids included, LOVE! However, if you let it sit in the fridge and let the flavors meld it tastes even better.

So I'm thinking to myself, I've had them before so how could a tuna melt be so "wonderful"? WELL, I made it (just to see what all the hype was about) and I tell you what, it is WAY better than wonderful - it's outstanding!!! The tomatoes in between the swiss cheese are so perfect. I had to make my own season salt (we seemed to have every spice known to man in our cabinet except that one - so I looked up the ingredients on the internet and voila! we now have home made seasoned salt)but it was quite easy and definitely worth it! Thanks for changing my mind about tuna melts!!!
