3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices white bread

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped red onion, chopped celery, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of bread with the softened butter.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet.
Divide the tuna salad evenly over the two slices of bread on the skillet.
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the tuna salad on each sandwich.
Top each with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the bottom bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half and serving.
