Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine drained tuna, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, celery, carrots, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined. 

  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  3. Spread the tuna salad evenly over each muffin half and top each with ½ tablespoon of cheese.

  4. Spray the skillet with cooking spray. Place the assembled muffins onto the skillet, cover, and cook on low heat until the cheese melts, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and shredded carrots. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then toss to coat. 

  6. Plate 2 muffin halves per serving alongside the salad.
