Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna in water, drained

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

3/4 teaspoon red wine vinegar

1 pinch sugar (secret hint)

1 pinch salt

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

4 slices seedless rye bread ( Or your favorite)

8 slices ripe tomato

8 slices Swiss or Cheddar Cheese (or both!)

Fresh Dill or Kosher Pickle!

Directions

Preheat the oven broiler.

In a bowl, mix the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, parsley, sugar and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Chill in fridge for 30 minutes.

Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, and broil 1 minute in the preheated oven, until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and spread with the tuna salad. Place 1 cheese slice over the tuna salad on each piece of bread, layer with a tomato slice, and top with remaining cheese slices.

Return layered bread to the preheated oven, and broil 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
