Step 2: Chop onion, celery, and parsley. Mince garlic and add substances to tuna.
Step 3: Add mayonnaise, olive oil (for a lighter model, omit olive oil), and mozzarella cheese. Mix all substances till properly included. Salt and pepper to style.
*Observe: I attempt to add within the Additional Virgin Olive Oil a little bit bit as a result of it’s more healthy than mayonnaise, however it’s a must to add mayonnaise as a result of simply utilizing the olive oil alone and no mayonnaise could be gross. 🙂 If you wish to simply use mayo, completely superb, however once more for me, I attempt to use a little bit olive oil to make it a tad more healthy. 🙂
Step 4: Place a non-stick skillet on the range and add 1 tablespoon of additional virgin olive oil. When the skillet is scorching, take a slice of bread and generously unfold butter on one facet.
Including butter AND further virgin olive oil helps the cooking course of. The olive oil helps the crust not burn as quick so that you simply get a golden brown exterior, not burnt. 🙂 The butter provides the flavour and helps it toast up higher. It’s an important trick to make use of when toasting bread on the range high to make use of BOTH (the flavors play properly collectively and comes out tremendous yummy!)
If you’d like it a little bit crispier on the surface, you can even use a forged iron skillet as a substitute of a non-stick skillet. Here’s the cast iron skillet I have.
Step 5: Place the bread (buttered facet down) within the scorching skillet. You’ll want to hold the temp at a constant warmth (and don’t prepare dinner too quick).
Step 6: Utilizing a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of tuna combination on bread whereas it’s browning.
Step 7: Butter one other slice of bread with butter and place non-buttered facet on high of tuna.
Step 8: Utilizing a spatula, test to see if the bread is grilled and toasted brown. In that case, flip the tuna soften over and grill the opposite facet till it’s golden brown. Bon appétit!
As a substitute, you could possibly use a toastie maker or a George Foreman kind grill as a substitute!

One other actually nice thought for Tuna that I love to do for fast lunches for associates, as a result of it’s an important protein. Seize two Albacore Tunas within the pouch (water).

Use that tuna salad combination on saltine crackers or bread (sourdough bread or complete wheat bread slices).
Make it more healthy. Use more healthy tuna. Right here’s what I began utilizing most not too long ago, Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna. You will get it on Amazon there on the hyperlink.
