Tuna Melt Twist

During the summer months, I love farm fresh tomatoes.  You know, those softball sized beefsteak tomatoes.  A few years ago I came across this idea from Linda Genaw who has a website with low carb recipes and I had to make it.  I did and fell in love.  This is my summer "go to" dinner.

Living in the Pacific Northwest (about a half hour from the Pacific Ocean) I travel down to the docks in Westport and purchase my tuna right off the boats and can tuna each year. 

How do you make your tuna salad?  I make my LOADED!  (Side note) If you must use Miracle Whip and/or sweet pickles, go ahead, but don't tell me about it (not a fan). 

Tuna Salad

7 oz. can white albacore tuna, drained
3-4 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 rib celery, finely diced
2-3 Tbsp. onion, finely diced
3 Tbsp. dill pickle, finely diced (or dill pickle relish)
1/4 tsp. Morton Nature's Seasons seasoning blend

Add tuna to medium mixing bowl and flake with a fork until fine.  Add celery, onion, pickle, and seasoning to the tuna.  Add mayonnaise until desired consistency.

Place tomato slices on a foil lined baking sheet.  Mound tuna mixture on top of each tomato slice and top with cheese.  Broil until cheese is melted and starts to brown.
