- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices whole wheat bread slices

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the low-fat mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Lay the slices of whole wheat bread on a clean surface.
Divide the tuna mixture evenly between two slices of the bread.
Place one slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture on each sandwich.
Top each with the remaining slices of bread to form two sandwiches.
Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet, pressing down gently with a spatula.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.
