These sandwiches are made with tuna salad, which is placed on split buns or slices of rye bread, sprinkled with grated sharp cheddar, and toasted in the oven until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. It's very filling and delicious, thanks in large part to the salad itself, which you can also serve as an appetizer. To make the salad, canned tuna is mixed with mayonnaise, red onion, celery, and mustard. All the ingredients combine to create a stunning range of flavors.
