Creamy and crunchy tuna salad already makes for a filling dish. Imagine how much better it would be on a slice of bread! Now you can transform a simple lunch into an open-faced gluten free tuna melt smothered in gooey cheddar cheese.
It’s ooey-gooey and packed full of delicious flavour, and perfect for the nights when you just want to put something on the table super quick or for that lunch date with your friends.
Grab your knife and fork to eat this one, because it’s open faced it’s easier to eat that way. Or, I guess you could fold the whole thing in half and eat it old-school style. But, I’d make sure you have a napkin or two if you do that.
