  • 1 can (6 ounces) solid white tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 3/4 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

    Heat oven to 350°. Mix tuna, celery, onion, lemon peel and mayonnaise in medium bowl.
  • 2
    Spread about 3 tablespoons tuna mixture on each English muffin half. Top each with tomato slice; sprinkle with cheese. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    It’s never too early to include kids in heart-healthy eating, so they learn good habits from day one. Ask them to help plan and prepare dinner to get them interested in foods and what they eat. In this easy recipe, they can mix the tuna and mayonnaise and make their own sandwiches. (You may need to help them use the oven, though.)
