I love good tuna salad, so cool and refreshing in the summer. And tuna melts are good all year round! This is a quick and easy recipe, but it's my favorite.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) can solid albacore tuna, drained WELL
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, concentrate ok
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest, finely chopped, optional but add it if you can
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed, a little more if desired
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

1
In small bowl, combine well the first 8 ingredients. Set aside.
2
Toast bread.
3
Top with tuna.
4
Top with tomato slices.
5
Top with cheese slices.

Makes great regular sandwiches on bread, croissants or bagels; or stuffed summer tomatoes, too!

This was a little different than the usual tuna fish sandwich, but we enjoyed the lemon, dill flavor. We ate it cold as we had to take it on the road, but will try it as a melt soon. Made for ZWT5

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!

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.
