Apple, Cheddar and Tuna Melt

A light, delicious tuna melt. You can use more mayonnaise than the recipe calls for if you wish. For the bread I used a loaf of whole grain unsliced Italian bread, very nice.

1. Drain tuna and place in a medium-size bowl. Add mayonaise, lemon juice, celery and red onion.
2. Peel the Granny Smith apple, core and dice. Add to the tuna mixture.
3. Add freshly ground pepper to taste and gently combine mixture well.
4. Slice six slices from the bread loaf, about 1/2-inch thick. Cover the slices with the tuna mixture and top with the grated cheese.
