Ellie Krieger'S Garden Tuna Melt - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) cans light chunk tuna in water, drained
2 cups lightly packed fresh baby spinach leaves, finely chopped (2 oz.)
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced (about 1 cup)
1 medium carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 slices whole wheat bread
4 thin slices extra-sharp cheddar cheese (2 oz. total)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0.
In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, spinach, bell pepper, carrot, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard, and black pepper.
Place the bread on a baking sheet, divide the tuna among the 4 pieces of bread, and top each with a slice of cheese.
Bake until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are toasted, 6-8 minutes.
