Grilled C.A.T. Sandwich
NeedTaste |This is a healthy, delicious alternative to just a plain ordinary tuna melt. C. Cheese. A. avocado. T. tuna fish...C.A.T. I wanted tuna fish for lunch but also wanted some avocado. I am trying to eat healthily and lose weight. I also wanted a grilled cheese sandwich. So after thinking about it, I came up with this. Do hope you will try it and that you like it. Let me know what you think. ENJOY . I would never have thought to combine avocado and tuna, but I really liked the combination. The avocado was a creamy and delicious way to replace mayo in the tuna salad. And I love the idea of using coconut oil to grill it with. Can't wait to make this again
