Tuna melt

Ingredients

  • 2 cans tuna
  • Juice of half a lemon 
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 2 tsp whole grain mustard
  • Black pepper
  • Red pepper chile flakes
  • Spring onions 
  • 4 dill pickle slices 

Or…

  • 2 cans tuna
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1/3 cup Mayo
  • Black pepper 
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Tabasco 
  • 2 tsp whole grain mustard
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 rib celery
  • Quarter red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup sweetcorn
  • Capers

Of the two I think the second is the best variant — at least, the celery and sweetcorn are well worth having.
