Kittencal's Tuna Melt Sandwich

"Trust me you will be craving this often once you try it! --- you may use regular white salt but the seasoned salt is better, also use as much cheese and tomato slices as desired, I sometimes add in some chopped sweet yum yum pickles to the tuna filling too --- low-fat mayonnaise and cheese may be used :)"

  1. Kitten Cal, you were one of the original recipe posters here. I always like your recipes. Will be trying this one soon. Sounds great as always.
     
  2. I've made this recipe so many times the paper I printed it on is wearing out! We love this sandwich! Whether you've cooked for 20 years or 20 days this easy recipe will leave you with a smile on your face! Quick and easy to put together and absolutely delicious! Thanks Kitt! This is a recipe in my "tried and true" collection that I will be making for many years to come!
     
  3. This was an excellent tuna melt. I loved the flavor from the seasoning salt, added lots of black pepper and instead of minced parsley, I used about 3/4 tsp. dried tarragon. Served on an English muffin with American cheese because that's what I had on hand...but can't imagine it being any better! Great recipe, love the simplicity, and you're right, Kittencal, it really cures a craving! Thanks for sharing this delight that is sure to be a regular in our household.
     
  4. Loved it. I used white onions, as I was out of green. Loved the crunch from the celery, and the double cheese makes the sandwich. Thanks!
     
  5. This is tasty tuna. I sort of made this recipe, but then I sort of didn't. What I made was really good. I will make this again with all the ingredients and re-rate it. What I did: Tuna, Mayo, Lemon juice, Celery, Seasoning Salt and Lemon Pepper. I omitted the green onion, parsley and tomato (didn't have any) and substituted American cheese and multi-grain bread (because that's what I had.) It was still really good, much better than tuna, mayo, mustard that I normally throw together. I think the lemon pepper made all the difference. Like I said, I will make this again with the ingredients I omitted . Thanks Kittencal! You always have the best recipes! <3

  1. OK, so I love canned tuna as much as the next person, but other than mixing it with some mayo and canned veg or Tuna Helper, I have no idea what to do with it. I have never tasted a tuna melt before either. This is UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! The dressing is very similar to one I use for Chicken Waldorf, except mine calls for black pepper instead of lemon pepper and salt instead fo seasoning salt. I looked up the Seasoning Salt recipe on Zaar. The lemon pepper makes it sooooo much better! I will definitely try this for my Waldorf salad dressing. I'm not sure how I feel about hot/warm tomatoes, so I put them on after the bread was toasted and they taste great. Made the melt on homemade French bread and used Havarti instead of Swiss cheese. Ohhh so good... and very filling. Thank you!
     
  2. Made this for dinner tonight and the whole fam loved it.. ESP. ME!!! I am on WW's and I entered this on the site to see how many points it was and it was ONLY 4 POINTS per serving.. :) I did use white albacore in water, instead of "tuna" and I only used 2 tbs of shredded low fat mozzarella on all of them, along with whole wheat bread.. I left all the ingredients sizes the same but on WW's I made it for 5 servings because that is what it ended up serving for our family.. FILLING and a way to get full without breaking the bank on POINTS!!!!! Whooo hoooo- a keeper 4 sure!!! Thanks Kittencal.. :)
     
  3. A Fabulous Tuna Melt! I used a comination of grated Mozarella and Provolone and used sourdough in place of the pumpernickel. Believe it or not I was able to pick this up and eat it without anything slipping off! You definitely won't be disappointed in this one!
     
  4. i LOVED this! Made a few adjustments...used cilantro instead of parsley because that's what I had, used white bread instead because that's also what I had (didn't want to buy more bread when I had good bread at home), added extra lemon juice for some extra zing, and added hard-boiled egg ( i always add hard-boiled eggs to my tuna salad, my sister thinks i'm crazy but DH and I love it). Did go out to buy seasoned salt especially for this, and it was totally worth it! Thanks for posting. UPDATE: had some left over the other night and took it to work as a wrap (tortilla, cheese, tomato, then tuna) it was sooooo good as a wrap. definetely worth trying.
