Tuna Melts

[/title][fusion_text]Week of February 29th-March 4th 2016

  • 4 cans (5 ounces each) solid white tuna packed in water, drained

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise, plus more for spreading

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

  • 4 teaspoons capers, rinsed and drained

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled between your fingers

  • 4 slices crusty bread

  • 8 thin slices tomato

  • 4 slices provolone

Heat broiler with rack in highest position. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, onion, capers, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano and stir until thoroughly combined. Arrange bread on a baking sheet and spread a little mayonnaise on each slice. Divide tuna salad evenly among slices, then top each with 2 slices tomato and 1 slice cheese. Broil until cheese is golden brown and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes.
