Ingredients

2 (4 to 5 oz.) cans tuna in water 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1 tsp. Horseradish Power* 1/2 cup chopped spinach leaves 2 stalks celery, diced 2 scallions, minced 8 slices wheat, rye or pumpernickel bread, toasted 4 slices Swiss or fontina cheese Optional: 1 (15 oz.) can white beans, drained and rinsed

Horseradish Powder

Directions

Step 1 Place tuna and beans in a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, 1 Tbsp. Emerald City Rub and 1 tsp. Horseradish Powder. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste. (Horseradish Powder will get stronger the longer the salad sits.)

Step 2 Fold in spinach, cherries, celery and scallions.

Step 3 Place the toasted bread pieces on a baking sheet and top 4 slices with tuna salad mixture then a slice of cheese.

Step 4 Place sheet under the broiler for about 5 min., or until cheese melts and begins to bubble.

Recipe Notes

*Add seasoning to taste. You might want to use less Emerald City Rub if your brand of fish or beans is high in sodium to begin with. Use more Horseradish Powder for additional heat.
