Ingredients:

4 small cans albacore tuna, drained

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup finely chopped celery

¼ cup finely diced red bell pepper

¼ cup finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

16 slices whole wheat bread

8 slices cheddar cheese (or more, to taste)

¼ cup softened butter

 

Instructions:

Make the Tuna Salad:

In a large bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red bell pepper, red onion, Dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Lay out 8 slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of the tuna mixture on each.

Top with a slice (or two) of cheddar cheese.

Cover with the remaining slices of bread to form 8 sandwiches.

Grill the Sandwiches:

Butter the outside of each sandwich (one side per slice).

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches in batches, buttered side down, for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve:

Slice in half and serve hot with pickles, salad, or soup.
