Portobello Mushroom Tuna Melt

If you are looking for something light and easy, this one is pretty delicious! See bottom for alternative way of preparing Tuna!

Portobello Mushroom Tuna Melt

Ingredients

4 Portobello mushrooms, stemmed, gills removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1x5 ounce can albacore tuna packed in water, drained
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
4 Deli-thin slices Swiss cheese
4 slices tomatoes
1/2 cup mixed baby greens

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Brush the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and broil, turning once, until softened and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
While the mushrooms are cooking, in a bowl, combine tuna, celery, parsley, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and remaining tablespoon oil.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven. Divide tuna mixture among mushrooms, and spread evenly in caps. Top each with a slice of cheese, and broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Top each mushroom with a tomato slice and 2 tablespoons greens, and serve immediately.
