Ingredients
- 2 cans Low-sodium canned tuna (drained)
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 slices Whole grain bread slices
- 4 slices Low-sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the drained low-sodium tuna, Greek yogurt, celery, red onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated to form the tuna salad.
Step 2
Spread the tuna salad evenly over two slices of whole grain bread.
Step 3
Place a slice of low-sodium cheddar cheese atop the tuna salad on each sandwich.
Step 4
Top each sandwich with another slice of whole grain bread.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 6
Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, carefully place the sandwiches in, cooking until the bottom side is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the sandwiches and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly on a cutting board, then slice them in half.
Step 9
Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm for best flavor.
