Skinny Tuna Melt, 6 Weight Watchers Points+

This is from one of my favorite Bloggers:

The Skinny Tuna Melt


 


Classic comfort diner food, just got a make-over... the low fat tuna melt. Adding veggies to your tuna, replacing the full fat cheese and mayonnaise with light mayo and cheese and serving it opened faced makes this classic sandwich lower in fat and Weight Watcher friendly. Use your favorite whole grain bread and serve with a salad or a cup of soup on the side.
