  2. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

  5. Top each slice with two slices of cheddar cheese.
  6. Divide the tuna salad mixture evenly between the two cheese-topped bread slices.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the tuna salad.
  • If you don’t have celery or red onion, finely chopped green onion or bell pepper can be substituted.
  • White, wheat, or sourdough bread all work well for this recipe.
