Looking for a super-simple and quick recipe for dinner. Check out this open-faced tuna melt sandwich. The same delicious taste with half the carbs.

If an open-faced approach isn't your style, try this with an everything bagel. Feel free to spice this up if the kiddos are in using a Serrano Pepper in addition to or instead of the Peppadew Peppers called out in the ingredients list.

Open-Faced Tuna Melt Sandwich

Multigrain cut into thick slices and then drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with crushed sea salt and then lightly toasted pulled from the oven. While still warm, the tuna salad made with chopped celery, carrots, butter pickles and fun Peppadew peppers is generously spread and then covered with a thick layer of cheddar cheese slices. Baked to perfection and served hot with a side of baby pickles.
