Tuna Melt Recipe and Celery With Peanut Butter

Sandwich

Contributed by: Jessica Zhu

Tuna Melt

Select your language:

For some, tuna melts are a comfort food classic. This recipe includes the sandwich, as well as a side (or a snack) of celery and nut-butter. If you don't eat peanut butter, you can try this with sunflower seed or almond butter. If you add raisins on top of the celery and nut-butter, it's likely to be child-approved!
