How to make it
- Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Stir in the tuna and chopped celery. Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to meld the flavors if you have time.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast your slice of bread in a toaster or under a broiler to achieve some crunch without using butter or oil.
- Assemble the Tuna Melt: 1. Place the tomato slices onto the toasted bread and season with a little more salt and pepper. 2. Spread the prepared tuna salad evenly over the tomato slices. 3. Top with shredded cheese.
- Broil: Place the assembled tuna melt under the broiler or in a toaster oven just until the cheese melts and bubbles, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your tuna melt hot and bubbly right out of the oven.
