Easy-Peasy Cheesy Tuna Melts With Olive Salsa
Instructions
Cook:15min
This tuna melt is a delicious departure from the heavy-handed classic. It highlights heart-healthy fats, with omega-3 fatty acids in the tuna and monounsaturated fat in the olives and olive oil. Castelvetrano olives have a mild flavor and buttery texture that works well in this salsa, but if you have trouble finding them, any mild green olive will do. When purchasing canned tuna, look for the words “pole-and-line caught” on the label for the more sustainably-caught fish. We like Wild Planet brand.
