These Mini Triple-Decker Tuna Melts pack all the satisfaction of a full-sized sandwich into perfectly portioned bites that are ideal for entertaining or when you want comfort food without the commitment. Using Wild Planet's premium albacore tuna as the foundation, each tiny sandwich gets layered with two types of cheese and a tangy tuna salad studded with giardiniera for extra flavor. The key is in the details: crispy golden bread, melted cheese, and fresh garnishes that make each bite feel special.
