How to stretch these ingredients

  • Oil-packed tuna has more flavor than water-packed
  • Add celery for crunch, or use pickles if you have them
  • Lemon juice or a little vinegar in the tuna mix adds brightness
  • Tuna melt is better under the broiler — faster and crispier
  • Capers or olives add a big flavor punch with minimal effort
