Apple, Cheddar and Tuna Melt image

A light, delicious tuna melt. You can use more mayonnaise than the recipe calls for if you wish. For the bread I used a loaf of whole grain unsliced Italian bread, very nice.

1 (6 ounce) can tuna
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 granny smith apple
fresh ground pepper
1 loaf of rustic Italian bread
2/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Drain tuna and place in a medium-size bowl. Add mayonaise, lemon juice, celery and red onion.

  • Add freshly ground pepper to taste and gently combine mixture well.
  • Slice six slices from the bread loaf, about 1/2-inch thick. Cover the slices with the tuna mixture and top with the grated cheese.
