Instructions

First drain the tuna. I open the lid and press it down firmly over the tuna to drain off as much liquid from the tuna as I can
Combine the ingredients for tuna salad in a large mixing bowl and set aside
Butter one side of each slice of bread then flip them over
Top with cheddar cheese and scoop of tuna salad
Top with second slice of bread, butter-side-up
Warm a large skillet and add sandwich to skillet and cook over medium heat on both sides for about 3 to 5 minutes each (the cheese should be melted)
Remove from skillet, slice and enjoy!

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for 3 days. I reheat in skillet or oven!
