Tuna is also a great food to boost your energy. My hubbie is off to Yosemite to scale the Half Domethis weekend so I decided to give him some healthier alternative for tonight's meal before he heads off.
Tuna Melt (New Jersey Diner Style)
I found this recipe off of allrecipes.com.
I improvised some of the ingredients and added some of my own (with the advice of the hubster)
ingredients
(Serves 4)
2 6 oz. cans solid white tuna in water, drained
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
3/4 teaspoon red wine vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
4 slices (or more) seedless rye bread
8 slices (or more) ripe tomato
8 slices Swiss cheese
paprika (for garnish) we used a slice of avocado on top instead
makin' it
1. Preheat the oven broiler
2. Mix tuna, mayo, celery, onion, parsley, and vinegar. Season with salt/pepper.
3. Place the rye bread slices on a baking sheet, and broil about 1 min. in the oven until lightly toasted. Remove from the heat and spread with the prepared tuna on each piece of bread, Place 1 cheese slice over the tuna salad on each piece of bread, layer with a tomato slice, and top with remaining cheese
4. Return layered bread to the oven and broil 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
It was delicious!! The hubster loved it!!
