For The Tuna Mixture:
2 cans (5 oz.) Wild Selections Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water
4 stalks of celery, chopped
2–3 small pickles, chopped
1 hard boiled egg, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Sandwich:
4 hamburger buns, sliced in half as you see in the photos (or your favorite toast)
8 slices of cheddar cheese (or provolone, mozzarella or Havarti would also work)
1 cucumber, sliced thinly
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
½ cup salad greens (or arugula)
4 cornichons (pickles) as garnish (optional)

To make the tuna mixture: Mix together Wild Selections Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, celery, pickles, egg, parsley, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Taste for seasoning and add in if necessary. To make the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 1 slice of cheese on the bottom half of a bun and top it off with ½ cup of the tuna mixture. Place another slice of cheese on the top bun. Place both of them (facing up) on the sheet pan. Repeat the same process with the rest of the buns. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese melts. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for a minute. To Assemble: Layer each bottom bun (the one with the tuna mixture) with sliced cucumber, avocado, tomato, and a green salad leaf. Put the top bun. If preferred, garnish with a cornichon (pickle) and serve.
