Mini Better Butter Grilled Tuna Salad Sandwhiches

Say it ten times fast...

Grilled cheese. One of my comfort foods. Great with soup, salad, chips, dip, fries, cole slaw, potato salad, pasta salad (basically any kind of salad). Very simple and easy to make. I like foods I can make on auto-pilot. Tuna salad is a great recipe to experiment with. Try some new flavor combination like lemon and red pepper or wasabi and pickle relish or dill and basil. Since most GCS recipes call for butter when grilling, it's a perfect recipe for adding a little CannaButter  flavoring. Now it won't be enough to knock you on your ass or anything but if you enjoy the flavor of budder in food give it a try!

Ingredients:

Now I don't like rules, and I REALLY don't like rules when I'm cooking so whenever possible I ignore them. Measuring is a rule I REALLY REALLY don't like and with the exception of baking, most recipes leave a lot of room for experimentaion. It's all about fun!  Measuring is something where the more you cook and the more comfortable you become in the kitchen you will learn how to "eye ball" it with out having to measure every ingredient out by hand. Less dishes = less clean up! That's what I like :P 

This is how I measure out ingredients for tuna salad:

• 1 can of tuna
• a couple squirts of mayo (I use Kraft mayo w/ olive oil, yum!)
• a dollop of pickle relish
• a small sploodge of wasabi sauce or mayo
• a handful of chopped celery
• a squeeze of lemon
• a few grabs of banana peppers
• a twist of pepper
• a dash of dill
• a sprinkle of salt
• cheese of your chose (I used provolone)
• Enough CannaButter (or regular butter of course) to smear on the out sides of the bread
• 2 sour dough english muffins (just the bread I had on hand, they are small and perfect for grilling, the sour dough gives it great flavor. But of course you can use any kind of bread you want, this recipe makes 4 small sandwiches or 2 big sandwiches)

You will also need:

• a skillet
• a spatula
• a few pieces of lettuce (added after grilling)

Directions:

• Combine all ingredients in bowl (save cheese, butter and bread lol)
• Place on piece of cheese on each piece of bread
• Spead tuna salad on to bread
• spread CannaButter on to the out sides of the bread
• place in skillet on medium low heat and cook 3-5 minutes each side, checking for desired done-ness. I like mine to be golden brown , with a little bit of black
• when done grilling add some lettuce for extra green crunch!
