TUNA SALAD
How to Make King's Hawaiian Tuna Melt Supreme
- 1Place all of tuna salad ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. (Can be made up ahead for flavors to blend.) Slice round loaf of King's Hawaiian Bread to desired thickness. (Enough filling to make 2 large sandwiches or 4 small.)
- 2Layer as follows:
1. bread
2. cheese
3. tomato
4. tuna salad
5. cheese
6. bread
Melted cheese holds everything else in. ;) - 3Butter both sides of bread generously and grill (fry) until golden brown. Serve with sweet potato fries or chips and pickle slices.
- 4(Use any left-over sliced, round sweet Hawaiian bread to make the best French Toast you've ever had the next morning!)
