Tuna Melts with Avocado


The secret to this delicious tuna melts is there's no secret! You know how they say that sometimes, less is more. Well I find it kind of true, because all you need to fix this is some good Swiss cheese, canned Albacore tuna, avocados and cherry tomatoes on hands... and voilĂ ! Healthy and oh-so-good.

Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil 
- 2 tbsp thinly sliced shallots
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp salt 
- 1 (6-ounce) can solid white tuna in water, drained and flaked 
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 
- 1 avocado 
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered 
- 1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese 
- 2 (6-ounce) pieces French bread, halved lengthwise and toasted 

Directions:
1. Preheat broiler to high.
2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well to coat. Place juice in a small bowl. Peel, seed, and chop avocado. Add avocado to juice; toss. Add avocado mixture and tomatoes to tuna mixture; toss well to combine. Sprinkle cheese evenly over cut sides of bread, and broil for 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Place 1 bread slice, cheese side up, on each of 4 plates, and divide tuna mixture evenly among bread slices.
