This tuna melt sandwich is so yummy. With a touch of cucumber slices, it made my sandwich more juicy and exciting in every bite. You can add 1 more ingredients like lettuce leaves, bacon, tomatoes, pickles or avocado to add color and taste (too sad I forgot to buy lettuce though). Its super quick and easy to make!
