Tuna Melt

1 Can (12 1/4 ounces) water-packed white albacore tuna, drained 
1 Celery stalk, finely diced 
2 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley 
2 Tablespoons sweet green pickle relish 
1 Teaspoon fresh lemon juice

4 fresh parsley sprigs 
Preheat a broiler (griller). In a bowl, combine the tuna, celery,

until well mixed.
	
Place the bread slices on a broiler pan. Divide the tuna mixture 
evenly among them, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the cheese evenly 
over the tuna mixture.

Place under the broiler and broil (grill) until the tops just begin

cheese may brown too much.

parsley sprig. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
