Provençal Tuna Sandwich Salad Or Crostini No Mayonnaise Recipes

TUNA SALAD WITHOUT MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Mix tuna, salad dressing, mustard, relish, celery seed, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

TUNA SANDWICH WITHOUT MAYO

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan to medium heat.
• Spread one slice of bread with cream cheese.
• Top with tuna.
• Add the provolone on top of the tuna.
• Top with second slice of bread.
• Butter the outside slices of the sandwich and grill in the pan like a grilled cheese sandwich.
• Another option is to grill in a panini maker.
• A quicker and perhaps lighter option is to toast the bread in a toaster before assembling the sandwich and then microwave for 30 seconds or so just enough to melt the cheese.
• You can experiment with different cheeses--I have used Swiss, Munster and sharp cheddar as well.
• You can change the cream cheese to plain or veggie as well.
• If the tuna is still to "dry" for you, try mixing 1-2 tablespoons sour cream with the tuna before assembling the sandwich.

TASTY TUNA MELT, NO MAYO

Steps:

• Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster.
• Combine the onions, parsley, and tuna in mixing bowl. You can add hot sauce or other spices if you want to jazz it up.
• Add the lime juice to the bowl and mix it all up with a fork. You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if needed.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet. Cover each slice with the tuna mixture.
• Cut the cheese into slices and then cover each sandwich with a thin layer of cheese.
• Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling a bit.
• (Optional) You can also add a fresh slice of tomato or avocado to each sandwich and then broil for 1 or 2 more minutes. (If you broil much longer than that the tomato or avocado can get mushy).
• (Optional) If you like a firmer sandwich, melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and then transfer the cooked sandwiches to the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the bread is buttery and firm.
• Serve them while they're hot.
