Tuna Salad Preparation
Mix the Tuna Salad
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), mayonnaise, diced celery, chopped red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assemble the Tuna Melt
On the unbuttered side of two slices of rye bread, spread a generous amount of the prepared tuna salad. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese.

Cook the Sandwich
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
