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 :)

Tips:

  • For the best tuna salad, use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water, not oil, and that is labeled "dolphin-safe."
  • When making the tuna salad, be sure to use a mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of. There are many different brands and flavors of mayonnaise available, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • If you are using a sharp cheddar cheese, you may want to reduce the amount of Dijon mustard in the recipe. This will help to prevent the sandwich from being too spicy.
  • To make the sandwich even more decadent, add a slice of avocado or tomato. You could also add a sprinkle of bacon bits or chopped walnuts.
  • If you are making the sandwich ahead of time, be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Tuna melts are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your tuna melt simple or loaded with toppings, there is a recipe out there for you.
