Skinny Tuna Melt

By Pattywak

Classic comfort diner food, just got a make-over... the low fat tuna melt. Adding veggies to your tuna, replacing the full fat cheese and mayonnaise with light mayo and cheese and serving it opened faced makes this classic sandwich lower in fat and Weight Watcher friendly. Use your favorite whole grain bread and serve with a salad or a cup of soup on the side.

This is also good on a tortilla that has been toasted for a minute under broiler, then add food so it doesn't get soggy. i would omit the tomato or put on side.
