Tuna Melt
- Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
- Toast your bagel, english muffins or slices of bread.

Notes
This recipe keeps for 3-5 days and tastes even better the longer you have it in the fridge as it absorbs more and more of the flavour over time. Instead of bread, you can also top this vegan tuna salad on top of a fresh garden salad!
