Ingredients

    8 oz pouched low-sodium tuna or canned low-sodium water-packed tuna, drained
    1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
    1 rib celery, diced
    2 green onions, thinly sliced
    1 tbsp fresh lime juice
    1/2 tsp each chile powder and ground cumin
    Pinch cayenne pepper
    Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
    4 slices whole-grain bread, lightly toasted
    1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella-cheddar cheese blend

    (I doubled the recipe)

Tips

I doubled the recipe (I have a big family) and added peas to the mix.


Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a medium bowl, combine tuna, yogurt, celery, onions, lime juice, chile powder, cumin and cayenne. Season with salt and black pepper.
Place bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread tuna salad on each slice, dividing evenly. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese. Bake in oven for 4 to 6 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling and tuna is warm. Serve immediately.
