Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna in water
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese, sliced

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
Add Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Lightly spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over medium heat.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the tuna mixture onto two slices of whole grain bread. Layer tomato slices and then place two slices of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of each sandwich.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to create two sandwiches.
Carefully place the sandwiches onto the preheated skillet.
Cook each sandwich for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
