- 2 celery ribs (finely diced, 1 cup, 105g)
- ½ small red onion (finely diced, 80g, ½ cup)
- 2 dill pickle spears (small dice, 80g, ½ cup)
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper (freshly cracked)
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp butter (divided)
Instructions
- Gather and prepare all ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, diced celery, red onion, pickles, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- To assemble the sandwiches, lay out the sourdough bread and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each piece. Share the tuna mixture evenly between four slices, then top with the remaining bread slices.

Notes
For added flavor, consider using a mix of different cheeses.
Serve with a side of salad or chips for a complete meal.
Make it healthier by using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
