These Weight Watchers Tuna Melts offer a delicious and satisfying twist on the classic sandwich, providing a lighter yet still indulgent option for those following a WW (formerly Weight Watchers) plan or anyone looking for a healthier meal option. With just 6 points per sandwich, they’re a guilt-free way to enjoy the comforting flavors of a tuna melt without sacrificing taste or satisfaction.

To begin, a simple yet flavorful tuna salad mixture is prepared using canned tuna in water, chopped celery, onions, light mayonnaise, and a touch of salt and pepper. This mixture adds a delightful crunch from the celery and a burst of flavor from the onions, creating a savory filling that pairs perfectly with the melted cheese.

Using Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat with honey bread adds a touch of sweetness and warmth to the sandwich, while also keeping the calorie count low. Lightly spraying the bread with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray before grilling ensures that each bite is golden brown and crisp, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite.

The addition of Sargento ultra thin mild cheddar cheese provides a creamy and melty texture, elevating the sandwich to new heights of indulgence. Once assembled, the sandwiches are grilled until golden brown on each side, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld together into a mouthwatering masterpiece.

Whether enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a quick and easy meal on the go, these Weight Watchers Tuna Melts are sure to satisfy cravings and leave you feeling satisfied and nourished.
