1 can Fishwife Albacore Tuna in Olive Oil
1/2 can white beans, drained and rinsed (540 ml can) 
1 large rib of celery, diced
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh chives, diced 
1/2 juice of a fresh lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp honey dijon mustard
2 slices bread of choice
3-4 slices cheese of choice, or shredded cheese 
1 tbsp butter, melted in pan 

Directions: 
1. To a bowl, combine the tuna, white beans, diced celery, dill, chives, lemon juice, spices, mayonnaise and honey dijon mustard. Mix with a fork until well combined and the mixture is creamy. 

2. Toast 2 slices of bread, then spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Spoon the white bean and tuna mixture on one side of your bread, top with cheese, then close with the second piece of bread.

4. Place the sandwich on a plate, cut it in half and enjoy.
