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!
Ingredients
Tuna
- 1 can (5 oz) light tuna in water
Bread
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
Mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon
Black_pepper
- 1 teaspoon
Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, powdered
Celery
- ½ stalk
Cheese
- 1 slice, your choice of cheese
Celery
- 2 sticks
Nut_butter
- 3 Tablespoons peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter
Instructions
Step 1
Open a can of tuna and drain the excess water. Scoop the tuna out of the can and put the tuna in a bowl. Chop 1/2 celery stalk into small pieces. Add it into the bowl. Combine mayo, black pepper and garlic powder with the tuna and mix until combined.
Step 2
Turn on your stove, and place two slices of bread onto the pan (or toast in a toaster oven). Continue to check on the bread to make sure it is lightly toasted on one side. Flip to the other side and add a slice of cheese.
Step 3
Scoop tuna mixture on top of the cheese. Put the other slice of bread on top and remove from pan once toasted to your liking.
Step 4
Cut celery stalks into even pieces (about the length of your pinky finger). Spread peanut butter on top of the celery and enjoy!
