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

- 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 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)

In a bowl mix tuna, mayo, lemon juice (or red wine vinegar) celery, green onions and parsley; mix well.3

I fixed this for my hubby for lunch today, I don't eat tuna so I left the review up to him. He really likes the open face idea, less bread to fill up on. I did use whole wheat as that is what we always have on hand. He usually has me use Miracle Whip in his tuna melt but I followed your recipe & used Mayo. Also had no swiss on hand so used cheddar but next time I will try the swiss. He really like the tomato. What I did a little different was butter the slice of bread then pile the tuna, tomato & cheese on and grill it butter side down, then when it was toasted I put it under the broiler to get the cheese melted. He gives you an enthusiastic 5 stars. Thanks Kittencal for another nice addition to my recipe file.

This was very good. I used 2 slices of bread for each sandwich. I followed the recipe exactly using whole wheat bread. Thanks Kittencal!

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!!!
