Sister moved to NYC with her boyfriend, Chris, and near their apartment is this adorable restaurant that has THE BEST tuna melt.  It’s amazing.  Since I don’t get up to NYC often enough (and because Sister mocks me for wanting to only eat at one restaurant the whole time I’m there), I had to try to recreate their super tasty tuna melt.

Lemony Tuna Salad

Serves 4

• 1 large can tuna (in water), drained
• 1/3 cup carrots, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1 shallot, minced
• 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.  Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Top your choice of bread with tuna salad and extra sharp cheddar cheese, toast until melted.  Devour!
