Tuna Time

I have to admit I am bad about eating fish.  Mainly due to how expensive fish can be.  The other day I was reading an article in Runner's World, it was focused on runners eating fish.  They mentioned that canned fish is good as fresh fish.  Which in my mind it meant I could get my weekly intake of fish, and not pay an arm and a leg.  In my cabinet I have a plethora of canned tuna.  For lunch today I decided I needed some fish.  After a second I decided to make a tuna melt.  Mainly, tuna melts have a bad reputation for not being so healthy with all the mayo that is added.  I did add mayo, but I used Kraft's mayo with olive oil.  They use olive oil instead of the saturated oils that most companys use to make. 

 
 
With this tuna melt I used the following:
  • tablespoon of mayo
  • a pinch of garlic sea salt
  • half of celery stalk chopped up
  • two baby carrots chopped
  • tablespoon of diced onion
  • slice of tomato
  • slice of gouda cheese
  • can of tuna
  • slice of wheat bread
 
I started off preheating the oven at broil.  Then I mixed mayo, celery, carrots, onion, tuna, and garlic sea salt in a bowl.  After mixing I dumped the combination onto the slice of bread, then layed the sandwhich with tomato and then the gouda.
 
Put the sandwhich in the oven for about 4 to 5 minutes, afterwards it was ready to eat!
