A serious misconception is that the good ol’ days of enjoying comfort food are dead and done, like an oil-soaked empty pizza box sitting at the bottom of the trashcan. People, this just isn’t true. Hearty, warm comfort food can be healthy and nutritious. Tuna melts are one of my favorite examples. Tuna, of course, is rich in iron and protein. And tuna salad is so easy to make. When I first lived by myself, I made open-face tuna salad sandwiches all of the time. To this day, I find the sight of bubbling cheese very beautiful. But these days I’m less concerned with a small hill of cheese than I am with making sure my food has nutritious value. Whenever I make this for lunch, I add avocado and a bitter green, like arugula. A crunchier lettuce pairs well, too. Sometimes I do it with romaine leaves, thinly sliced red onion, and a pickle or two. And maybe a handful of potato chips on the side.
