Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 large (sandwich-size) English muffins, halved
Two 12-ounce cans solid white tuna, drained
One 12-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Several dashes hot sauce
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped
Zest of 1/2 lemon

Meanwhile, make the tuna salad: In a large bowl, mix together the tuna, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, olives, mustard, dill, hot sauce, celery, scallions and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
Top each muffin half with a large scoop of tuna salad, arrange 2 slices of cheese on each and broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove and top with tomato slices and chives to serve.

Tips:

Use ripe avocados for a creamier texture.
Mash the avocado with a fork until it is smooth, but not too liquidy.
Season the avocado mixture with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the filling, such as sourdough or whole wheat.
Toast the bread lightly so that it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Spread the avocado mixture on one slice of bread and top with the tuna salad.
Add a slice of cheese on top of the tuna salad.
Top with the other slice of bread and butter the top.
Grill the sandwich in a panini press or skillet until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
