A Very Personal Tuna Melt

[@AE_Thomas]

My fiancée heard me watching this video, made me rewind it, and is now making Tuna salad. Carla's voice is Music to our stomachs.

[@KANEEENAK]

I see what you did there

[@m_a_k_e_n_n_a]

i ate this exact tuna recipe so many times last summer while sitting outside and I CAN NOT wait for another tuna summer, this time featuring melt + iceberg

[@paulohenriquemelo3062]

This tune melt looks delicious!!! I´ll try later tonight heheh

[@m.b.3610]

Never saw any of your vid until now and just became a new subscriber. I LOVE your sarcasm and your sense of humor (and of course your recipes).

[@TheBswan]

I will never make this but I am 100% down to watch and appreciate every adventure you go on Carla

[@mariapaularubianoa.6890]

The little umbrellas at the end gave me so much joy 💛

[@beepbeepteehee]

carla's laugh of "i meannnn..." 10:39 tell them haters ! the lettuce wedge is EVERYTHING

[@davidcoppotelli3957]

Carla, I Love Your Tuna Salad Recipe can't wait to put that together. Not a big fan of hot lettuce either or the Swiss Chesse. Munster looks just right. Thanks for bringing it to the table along with your CRAZY Beautiful Self. DAVID, RI

[@jaydenhartlillard]

I'm a homemade tuna salad FREAK. I love to include lemon zest, lemon juice, kewpie mayo, dijon mustard, homemade fermented hot sauce, a little soy sauce and a little Worcestershire sauce. So good on little wheat thins for a gathering.

[@shannanigansisme]

Worcestershire sauce never occurred to me! I may have to give that a try. Neither did soy. The hot sauce I cannot do anyway. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@elenamitchell]

i made this because of your comment and it is EVERYTHING!

[@lizzzlouise]

I love so much the “adventure melt” softly spoken before taking a bite that made me giggle

[@ericawentz2734]

More Carla on the open seas, please!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@suzannebenz8928]

Bravo!

[@puggirl415]

Your additions seem yummy and very different from my tuna salad. My Mom used to put all kinds of things in tuna. Olives for one. Pickle relish for another. Mayonnaise haters crack me up. Mayonnaise in my opinion is one of the best sauces/emulsions ever invented. I find mayonnaise haters aren't happy until they tell everyone around them (every time the mayo comes out mind you:) that they hate mayonnaise. We're gluten free at our house so we do our tuna melt a bit differently. We start with very fresh corn tortillas and make a cheesy tostada in the cast iron skillet. When the cheese is all hot and bubbly I take them out of the pan and plate them. Then I pile the cold tuna on top of the cheese. The tuna stays sort of cool and the cheese and tortilla get very hot and melty and crispy. I do use cheddar but if I had muenster cheese around I would use that too. Put a bunch of hot sauce on top and enjoy.

[@kev1981enter]

Carla is my kooky internet aunt and I love it

[@bobkal9424]

You are insane!!! I love your channel and your energy and most importantly your recipes. Keep ‘em comin’

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

I started putting pickled red onions in my tuna salads/melts - the best!

[@roxannelucky]

Carla, you are so delightful, and you can cook! I will try your adventure tuna melt. Thanks for being so much joy to the world. Blessings 😎

[@wanderer1615]

I don’t tuna salad, I definitely don’t like tuna melts, but I like Carla Lalli, Music. So I’m just here for the journey. 🥰

[@heidis4677]

I saw, I shopped, I ate. This was a welcome change to what I grew up on (and still love)!

[@declanhughes9896]

That adventurous melt looks delish! 🤤🤤🤤

[@mousegouse]

Wow, didn't think she would succeed with that. Hats off Chef !! This one deserves Sea Shanty 🤣🤣🤣

[@virginiaf.5764]

Chopped spanish olives and/or capers, celery for crunch, thinly sliced jalapeno and Dukes mayonnaise ... and only tuna packed in oil. When sweet Vidalia onions are available, they're yum in a tuna salad sandwich.

[@bee9256]

Feels like Carla could have melted the cheese using the heat from that iceberg slab fever dream alone 🥵 ...and as it turns out, the sweetest dreams are also salty and crunchy 😍

[@pamelajoy67]

And thank you for bringing us on your high seas adventure.

[@pandoraeeris7860]

This gave me some ideas. Rye bread? Sure. But also pumperknickle, sourdough, or sourdough rye! Capers. Tartar sauce. Dill. Ajvar peppers. Roasted garlic cloves. Cheese. Brie? Camembert? Chevre? Raclette? Yes!

[@bwaer1]

THANK YOU for making the day brighter, better, more delicious. This tuna melt (and all the joyous jokery of this post) are everything. Can't w8 2 make this!

[@Dwilli1_thebussyboy]

totally agree 💯

[@summerlei1980]

Love Love LOVE tuna melts! We also used canned salmon and liked it too! Noticed your voice was a bit different, hope you're doing and feeling better okay! Thank you again Carla for these delicious recipes! 🥰

[@bryanmcwhirter9945]

Tuna melt on toasted bread with kimchi or sauerkraut ? Many options. Thankyou Carla for the inspiration and the luv of food for family and friends!

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Tuna Salad > Chicken Salad

[@kittehtoes]

Oh well duh!

[@annamilam2227]

you’ve never been more right

[@daisyblooms4813]

No ma'am

[@pizzarrheaaa]

Obviously

[@daisyblooms4813]

@@pizzarrheaaa omg, your user name ❤

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I make like a tuna salad but with smoked kippers and bbq sauce! When I do make tuna salad sandwiches I make them with mayo, dill, Indonesian sambal and pepper.

[@MoonlightDestiny827]

I do appreciate tuna...and YOU! Thanks for the video 😊

[@meredithbyrd6456]

So true that everyone makes it a little differently! Thank you for sharing your style, Carla! I can't wait to try out your recipe, and I love reading other people's in the comments! Yay!!

[@hunterclapsadl4776]

I would sail the high seas for this woman. Stellar video. Tuna out of ten. 🐟

[@happiebeader]

Ahhh the Stan’s Donuts shirt! Miss that place so much as a former local 😢

[@getreadywithmemamma]

You had me at all the fishes in the sea 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.❤

[@pamelajoy67]

Yum! And Muenster is definitely my favorite melty cheese! It's what we use for most of our quesadillas. We are Muenster Monsters!

[@susannesvlogs1857]

Looks delicious!

[@lizjohnson3412]

Love your videos and cannot wait to try this for my hubby and kids! Hello 👋 from Texas! We love ya

[@xcessa]

This is the video I didn’t know I needed and now can’t live without

[@brianp4438]

I feel like this is a tuna melt made specifically for me. There were no decisions made that I did not absolutely love

[@alysoffoxdale]

I have Opinions about both tuna salad and tuna melt, but I would absolutely eat an Adventure Melt if it were set before me, and I'm pretty sure I would enjoy it!

[@OneOlive1]

I love tuna! This looks so tasty!

[@PullthaleverKronk]

I really like using olive brine and minced anchovies, I used to throw kale and bleu cheese on mine too- I like mine real dank n stank

[@miningho5913]

Thank you Carla I love your tuna melt omg

[@maxiekiehne1728]

I like Mayo, jalapeños, white onion, tomatoes and lime in mine! I’m going to have to try it this ways next 💜

[@shannanigansisme]

Sounds good, but you must have a cast iron tummy!

[@carolinabaker2728]

"roof removal" had me laughing out loud

[@mompreneurlife]

❤mmm love tuna! What a treat❤

[@AutumnWytch999]

Oh my GOD this looks so good - especially with the iceberg! Muenster? Yes, please! Also, too, I would add capers and some of that brine! Just beautiful!

[@shannanigansisme]

...Adding capers to my ever growing list of tuna salad accoutrements!

[@keith930ful]

Hate tuna melt, but your joy to champion what you like and and I loved your new discovery too! I might have been swayed from your recipe I’ll give it a try again. I felt seen though a lot of diner tuna melts look joyless!

[@amandamosser1854]

Shivering with delight fo' sho! Can't wait to recreate!

[@marilynnergord7993]

Adventure melt….YES!

[@natzbaby]

Love it!!!

[@melindaleighh]

Your tuna recipe + Claire’s tuna recipe= my ideal tuna recipe situation

[@melindaleighh]

Also, Carla, I’m shocked kimchi doesn’t make an appearance on your tuna! 😊

[@drakeface]

I made tuna melts yesterday! My tuna salad recipe uses greek yogurt (bc I often don't have mayo), LOTS of finely diced celery, a sprinkle of chia seeds to absorb any extra liquid, and perhaps a reckless amount of relish. Goooooo TUNA!

[@idaslapter5987]

ooooh toasted sesame seeds are also really yummy in tuna salad

[@elizabethj8272]

the joy that this video made me feel is indescribable :D

[@gail4101]

My mouth just watered…I’m got all of the ingredients, so lunch here we come! ❤

[@Inzje]

Love Carla’s fun openings every video ❤

[@pegparrish3512]

I’m down with everything you did for this glorious Tuna Melt but I need a half sour pickle on the plate along side the chips. Beautiful job Carla!

[@dr.m.h.patterson8121]

girl she's got a big ole' dilly-looking pickle on the plate, doesn't she? carla don't play.

[@cheyennem9218]

They call those tuna noises very much something else on Twitter. Thank you for them!

[@dianamiles-hannah1286]

So nostalgic! Tuna melts under the broiler at Gram's house in Upper Montclair. Thank you for the great post and YOUR house rules 😉

[@mommys-lil-tortlet]

I have had to give up tuna and all fish after an intense stomach allergy this past week and this makes me miss it but so excited to try it with chickpeas

[@jml4774]

Carla is super fun. I like all of it, except the onions. I'll adjust it...and enjoy it, I'm sure.

[@christianrokicki]

I like to use bermuda onions and some sweet pickle relish with lots of finely chopped celery. For a start.

[@amandaradtke]

This tuna salad is so good! I make it often. I'll have to try it in Adventure Melt form!

[@3tamii3]

Oh my God, yes. The adventure melt is actually my perfect tuna melt. However! It also has a fried egg! I like mu tuna with eggs very very much.

[@natewrites7803]

That looks fabulous, Carla. I'm going to try this! When I lived in L.A. in the early 80s, there was a diner not far from the Labrea Tar Pits that had bacon on their tuna melt. It was mind blowing at the time. But this takes it up another notch!

[@lorif8071]

Pepper jack is my cheese of choice for melts and grilled cheeses

[@kmbarnett1200]

I am So making adventure melt! I love tuna melts anyway, but have never thought of using horseradish, pepperoncinis, hot sauce, and lemon slightly pickled shallots! I use lemon and shallots anyway... Although I do use Duke's mayo. Not a southerner, but it is the superior mayo 😋

[@acrylicdesigncompany8804]

Lol - I made tuna melts last night … Yours look Phenomenal!! I add a touch of Dijon mustard to the Mayo - but I’m def trying your version!! Thanks for being AWESOME Carla !

[@ruthtorphy2204]

Agree with the store tuna salad.

[@GaryT1952]

You are a crazy lady 🖤....love your videos and recipes

[@pollinatorsband]

I had a total tuna moment last week, nailing a perfect quick tuna salad on toast.

[@coda_o7]

Saw this and made my own version for lunch the next day. I think ima have to put the book on my wishlist given how often that's happened here recently...

[@ayalatiefenbrunn3642]

I have been JONESING for a good tuna melt for a while....this video came at the perfect time 🥹

[@downtonabbeyfreak]

i hate mayo so much, but i still watched the whole video because carla is a vibe i will always watch to the end

[@JastaAdventures]

I was literally making a tuna melt when this video popped up on my feed, and started playing. I’m using part of a baguette from a local French bakery. I don’t have iceberg but I’ll try it next time so I can go full on adventure melt.

[@caseymajor4803]

This makes me want a tuna sub from subway toasted with American cheese spinach onion black olive jalapeño yellow pepper pickle extra light Mayo salt and pepper on Italian herbs and cheese… it’s THE BESTTTTTTT EVER

[@jzakibe]

I never think of Muenster cheese. My immediate thought was like an ementhaler or a cheddar. Might have to give this a shout.

[@SR-no8sr]

I have been trying to eat more fish and this recipe has all elements I love so thank you for the inspiration!! Totally making this!

[@williamryan2067]

Love this. Would definitely swap out the Hellman's for Kewpie, but that's just me.

[@broadwaywes]

Make this with Cotswold!!!!

[@janehowe25]

I love tuna melts. Amazing. I’m such a mayo girl

[@flyovermyhead2]

Love you Carla

[@IndyAlexander]

adventure melts all day nom nom

[@christianrokicki]

So many people have complimented me on and enjoyed my tuna melts that i now have a reputation in the building. Not to brag but it's true.

[@slizzynguyenner6442]

I love this

[@alanbennett1846]

You simply MUST try Palace Diner. I can trust it is not overhyped as many foodie destinations are. Good, simple food made delicious and exciting. Their fried chicken sandwich is the stuff of dreams.

[@billiejoemerick7564]

Ditch the hellmans!ditch that zero& get with a hero!!! DUKE'S!!!LITERALLY THE BEST MAYO-even the lite is thicker & creamier than that junk🤑☮️

[@piscestown]

the 'the bear' reference got me haha

[@williamvouk2911]

Just in time for the start of lent!

[@vistaoalry4883]

My cheese of choice would be Swiss - I would also go rye bread and I would put mustard in my tuna salad. LOVE tuna

[@emkn1479]

Yum yum yum! I love oil packed tuna but all that oil gives me worse indigestion than tuna already does 😫 I sometimes add olive oil to the mix if I’m using water packed. Food just tends to fight back 😅 Oh, I love adding fresh dill and parsley. Totally agree on the rye! Love arugula with it also. And NOTHING sweet…that’s what freaks me out about tuna-on-the-go 👀

[@shannanigansisme]

Tuna gives me heartburn too! I wondered if I was the only one. Love arugula, but hopefully you'll forgive that I love bread and butter pickles with my tuna.

[@suzansumer3350]

i think i am in love w u this is amazing. go carla go! go carla's cool outfit! go carla's cool tuna melt w/ the lettuce!

[@kendallmarvetta]

Love your recipes!

[@GigiStar01]

I hate mayo, but I still watched video. 1. I typically substitute a vinegarette for the mayo and 2. I love Carla!

[@Kopa_Malphas]

Dude, I LOVE Tuna Melts.

[@audreybristol-evans1881]

im obsessed with unhinged scratchy voice adventure tuna Carla, and i will only be eating my tuna melts with their own personal umbrellas from now on so they can have their own little beach day. they deserve it

[@Abcdefghijajajaja]

Scratchy?

[@_o_-I-_o_]

Love this, will have to start incorporating pepperoncini into my tuna salads. Also, deft use of that fish spatula -- doubters be damned!

[@Wrecktoid]

Carla might be the most stoked person, ever!

[@oaarbh]

omg, forget the tuna melt. im here for the triple-fold kettle chip @ 11:28..... i would do crazy things for that chip 😍🤤😛
