TUNA MELT SLIDERS
Served on English muffins, we call these Tuna Sliders because they slide right down. I put "melt" in the title so others could find the recipe. I got this recipe from my mother. Serve with a green salad for a balanced meal. For a real treat, I recommend using #63244 English Muffins (Bread Machine Method) instead of store bought. If you are cooking for just 1 or 2 people, the tuna mixture will keep nicely in the refrigerator for a few days.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna packed in olive oil or water instead of vegetable oil, as it has a better flavor and texture.
- Drain the tuna well: Before adding the tuna to the salad, drain it thoroughly to remove excess liquid. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Add different types of vegetables to the salad, such as celery, onion, bell pepper, and cucumber, for a more colorful and flavorful dish.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: Choose a mayonnaise made with real eggs and oil, rather than one made with vegetable oil and thickeners.
- Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce for a little extra flavor.
- Chill the salad before serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
