Ingredients

Hawaiian Tuna Salad:

  • 2 (5 oz) pouches Bumble Bee® Light Tuna
  • 4 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple, chopped small
  • 1 teaspoon pineapple juice
  • 1 small Roma tomato, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoon green onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Tuna Melts:

  • 6 freshly sliced pineapple rings, core removed
  • fresh green leaf lettuce
  • sliced Provolone or White American cheese

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, pineapple, pineapple juice, tomato, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and bring to medium heat. Add pineapple rings (will probably need to be done in a couple batches), then top each ring with a heaping 1/3 cup of tuna salad.
  • Top each tuna melt with a slice of cheese and let cook for about five minutes, covered with a lid, to allow cheese to melt. Before serving, you can also transfer the pan to an oven set to broil for a couple of minutes until cheese is dotted with brown.
  • Use a spatula to transfer each tuna melt on to a fresh lettuce leaf for serving. Enjoy!
