Open-Face Tuna Veggie Melt

Open-Face Tuna Veggie Melt - July 28th, 2012

When it was time to make lunch yesterday, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. We needed a bread and cheese, so first to the grocery store, then lunch-time.

Open-Face Tuna Veggie Melt - page 177

"We've made our tuna salad with apples, mixed vegetables and thick yogurt, topping it with low-fat cheese. This amps up the flavor and cuts back on the fat, leaving you with a healthy midday meal."

I've always enjoyed tuna melts, but I absolutely love the new twist this recipe presents. Using a golden delicious apple in the mix really does make this a whole new type of melt. You get the sweetness from the apple which is great. Combine that with the yogurt dressing, celery, carrot, red onion, and tomato....yum.

I bought an un-sliced loaf of whole wheat bread so I could cut my own thick slices for this. Yet again, I ran into another confusing directional reference in the recipe. This is how it reads: "Slice bread horizontally, making a top and bottom. Place both halves crust-side down...". If they meant what it sounds like, that's definitely not a slice of bread and would give you a really awkward chunk of bread. I went with just a thick regular slice instead.

This was really yummy. We ate them with a fork and knife. It might not seem like much, but they were infact very filling.
