Air Fryer Pesto Tuna Melt

Serves 2

For the tuna salad:

  • 5 oz. can tuna in water, drained

  • 2 tbsp. Greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp. mayonnaise

  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp. pickle juice

  • pinch black pepper

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • pinch of red chili flakes

For the sandwich:

  • 4 slices of bread

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

  • 2 slices cheese

  • 1 tomato, sliced

  • 1 tbsp. of pesto

Place all the tuna salad ingredients into a medium bowl and mix well until fully combined.

To make the sandwiches, spread a thin layer of olive oil on one side of each bread slice. Lay them oil-side down on the work surface.

Spread half of the tuna salad mixture onto one slice of bread, top with a slice of cheese, tomato slices and ½ tablespoon of pesto, then cover with another slice of bread, olive oil side up. Repeat this process to make a second sandwich.

Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket and cook at 390°F for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
