Preheat the oven to broil (or set it to the highest temperature setting).
Split the English muffin in half and lightly toast both halves. Place them on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the canned tuna (drain it thoroughly), light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, chopped red onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the tuna salad.
Spoon equal amounts of the tuna mixture onto each half of the toasted English muffin, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture on each English muffin half.
Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help the cheese melt evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy your Weight Watchers Hot Tuna Melt!
